Oracle iExpenses Module, employees can enter and submit expense reports. There is a Workflow process that is initiated behind when an expense report is submitted which automatically routes expense reports for approval. Oracle Internet Expenses(iExpenses) integrates with Oracle Payables to provide quick processing of expense reports for payment.
This article includes these topics:
? Process Overview
? Approval Hierarchy
? Administrative features in iExpense
? Workflow Notifications -- Error Handling

Process Overview:
The employees would be issued Corporate credit cards which could be used for organization's business expenses. The bank would send in all the credit card transaction files on a daily basis or the agreed time interval. These credit card transactions have to be loaded into AP_CREDIT_CARD_TRXNS_ALL table using credit card transaction loader programs. After loading credit card transactions data into the AP_CREDIT_CARD_TRXNS_ALL table, the Credit Card Transactions Validation program should be run to validate the loaded data. Once validated, employees can enter these credit card transactions on expense reports to get re-imbursement from the company.
Once the employee vouchers the expenses through iExpense responsibility or Expense report screen in Account Payables responsibility and submits it, the workflow with the internal name APEXP is initiated which would validate the data entered, determine the Approver, sends notifications to the approver. The Approver has to then Approve or Reject the notification accordingly. Once the workflow activities are complete, use the concurrent program Expense Report Import to create Payables invoices from expense reports you enter in Payables or Oracle Internet Expenses. You can then use Payables to validate and pay these invoices and create accounting entries for them.


Approval Hierarchy in iExpense:
If the profile option "AME: Installed" is set to Yes, then the routing rules for approvals setup in Oracle Approvals Management are used, If set to No then the Employee/Supervisor Approval Process is used.
Employee/Supervisor Approval Process:
In the Employee/Supervisor Approval Process, the supervisor of the Expense report's owner would become the APPROVER. Every Employee should be assigned a Supervisor within Human Resources Responsibility- (New Hire: Assignments).An employee must be set up as a supplier prior to entering the expense report.
Managers can approve an expense report only if the total amount of the expense report does not exceed their signing limit. The Manager (Spending) Approval Process in the Expense Reporting workflow uses the signing limits you define(Navigation: Account Payables responsibility - Employees> Signing Limits )to determine which manager has authority to approve expense reports. If the amount on the expense report exceeds the signing limit of the approver, the expense report is automatically forwarded to the manager of the approver. This goes up the management hierarchy until an Approver is found who could approve the Expense report.
