Introduction

In AIQ, you can create expense claims directly in the system without the need for the mobile expense app. This means, for example, that employees can enter expenses on behalf of senior company members.

Prerequisites

To use the Expense listing grid, ensure you have access to the following in the Maintain Menu Profiles screen: 

  • Item Invoices
  • Purchase Product Debit Notes
 
 

Creating an Expense Claim

To create an expense claim:
