Expense report creation via desktop

1. Go to the "Bookings & Tickets" section and click on "Add Expense Report":

Important: It is not possible to correct the expense report after it has been created.

3. Now, your expense report is created and saved under Bookings & Tickets. You can now add as many receipts as you like by clicking on "Add expense".

4. Now please pick the respective receipt type. For our example, we choose the category "Receipt".

5. Please fill in all the fields that are relevant for your organization. Important: Please note that you have to indicate whether you or the company has paid the expenses. Then click "Submit receipt" to save the information.

6. Now you can submit the trip via "Submit for approval" to your accounting department and/or supervisor for review and approval:

Please note that once the expense and expenditure report has been created, the date can no longer be adjusted.
