What is an Expense Report?

A form called an expense report lists the expenses required for a business to function. Typically, expenses for businesses include the price of raw materials, the cost of IT infrastructure, the wages of employees, and more. A business may also request its employees to submit expenses to make up for business-related purchases, such as meals or gas. Companies can use QuickBooks expense reports to manage expenditures on individual projects as well as receive an overview of overall expenses.

Key Expense Report Metrics

The following metrics need to be tracked for each business expense report:

  • Date: It must match the date on the receipt with the date the expense was incurred.
  • Vendor: This is the name of the business from whom an employee, the company, or a specific item was purchased or from which services were availed.
  • Nature: Refers to the category of expenses incurred, such as air tickets, lodging, food, and rental cars.
  • Total Amount: This represents the full cost of an expense, including taxes. The amount should be the same as what is written on the invoice or receipt.
  • Account: Makes reference to the account that will be used to charge such expenses.
  • Description: An overview of expenses is provided so that everyone is aware of what each business expense is all about.

What are the Benefits of Expense Report Software?

The workflow is automated with the help of expense management software. The report is automatically sent to the appropriate person for approval.

Employing rules that are specific to their business, managers can enforce expense management software. Out-of-policy expenses can be indicated via automated expense management software.
