ERPX Human Resources / Expenses & Advances
Give employees a clear way to claim expenses. Keep receipts, approvals and reimbursements connected, with advance balances visible until they are settled.

Employee spending, connected
Set up expense categories, review employee claims and choose the right payment route. Keep HR, Finance and employees working from the same records, with outstanding amounts easy to follow.
Expense categories & limits
Define the expense types employees can claim against, from travel and meals to medical costs. Connect each type to its expense account and set a maximum amount where a limit applies. ERPX checks limited types against the employee’s claims in the HR Period containing the posting date.

Claims & supporting receipts
Record the employee, posting date and reason for spending, then add the individual expenses and supporting documents. Review the claim’s items, category balances and total before moving it through submission and approval. Employees can also submit claims through the Employee Portal.
