Receipts attached to Claim Header vs. Claim Item

Updated on

Explains difference between adding receipts to Claim Header or Claim Item

Claim Header

Claim Header

An expense claim typically contains multiple expense items. Receipts which include images or information from multiple / all items in a single file - for example if you put all your individual receipts side by side on a scanner and scan them all into a single document - are attached to the expense claim header.

As highlighted above, there are two buttons for attaching a header or overall receipt - 'upload new receipt' or 'link existing receipts'. Below this the number of receipt added is highlighted (e.g. '1 Receipt Click to add').

A receipt added from the header is common for all expense items. To view it:

  1. You can click on '1 Receipt' to view existing receipt or
  2. You can add more receipts by clicking on attachment clip icon

Claim Item

Claim Item

Alternatively each claim item can have its own receipt. For example:

  1. Select the expense item from the list, for example 'Air Travel Fare', the clip icon under receipt column indicates that receipt is added for air fare as compared to other claim items, against whom the clip icon has a + icon in green. This indicates there is no receipt attached
  2. If you click on clip icon against Air Travel Fare, you will get a popup window which shows the receipt. You can add more receipts if you like

Note: it is normally recommended to separate receipts and attach them to expense claim items because this makes it possible to include printed receipts in a customer invoice and simplifies the process of matching amounts etc. in expense claim items to their receipts
