Capture the obligation with its evidence

Bookkeeper records the vendor document, invoice number, due date and expense lines. Duplicate detection uses the vendor and document identity, with a documented exception for a genuine replacement. BillItems captures expense account and effective tax treatment so recoverable purchase tax is distinguishable from a cost. The approval threshold is evaluated using the retained home-currency basis. Routine bills can follow an approved automatic policy, while larger bills wait for the independent Owner. Neither path can silently reuse an approval after the document amount or supplier changes.

Review employee spending in its own context

ExpenseClaims links the person, receipt, amount and expense account. Employees prepare their own submissions; HR / Payroll decides assigned claims independently. Their own claims need another authorized reviewer. Approval recognizes the expense and employee payable, with a retained receipt and revision. Reimbursement uses PaymentsMade against the claim. This edition keeps that settlement out of payroll so an approved claim cannot accidentally be paid through two channels. Bookkeeper sees the approved reimbursement information needed for payment without receiving access to salary or individual payslips.

Separate release from actual settlement

Bills Due This Week helps prepare the next payment run. Each PaymentsMade record has one bill or expense target and reserves the outstanding amount while its request is pending. Owner approves the exact payee, bank details, amount and source revision independently of the preparer and claimant. The connector uses a stable request key. Only a confirmed outcome updates the paid balance and posts the liability-to-bank entry. Failed or uncertain requests remain visible for investigation; changing a status field is not a substitute for settlement evidence.

Rollout checks

Test a changed payee after approval, two simultaneous payment requests against one balance and a provider timeout followed by a successful retry. Reconcile the amount reserved, confirmed and still unpaid. Verify that an employee claim cannot also enter payroll and that a claimant cannot authorize their own reimbursement.

Before rollout, agree who prepares work, who can approve it and which source owns the final outcome. Map authenticated people to Employees and test those permissions through record links, exports and API calls. A hidden button alone cannot protect a business record. Retain the source revision, decision actor and effective configuration so a later change can be understood without reconstructing old settings.

Run the module with a small reconciled population before importing the full history. Record opening totals and identifiers, resolve duplicates, and compare results to the current business records. Where a connector supplies an outcome, test a retry, a rejected request and a delayed response. Preserve the evidence that explains each result. Agree the remaining manual work with the owner before releasing the application to the team.
