Intro – Reimbursement #
Reimbursement is used to record reimbursement expenses for employees. First, select the employee, then choose associated expense claims, mileage expenses, and any outstanding employee advances. The system will then calculate the net amount the company owes the employee or the amount the employee needs to return for any remaining advance.
- Reimbursement is a posting transaction.
- You cannot enter Reimbursement without approved expense claims or approved mileage expenses.
