There may be instances where an employee must use money from their own resources to carry out a project or activity or make purchases on the company's behalf. In these situations, the business pays the appropriate employee back. The Odoo Accounting module can be used to aid an employee in recording these costs. Under the Vendors menu, you can select Employee Expenses. You can keep track of your expenditures here and send them to the manager for approval. The expense amount will be reimbursed to your account once the manager has given his or her permission.
In the list view of the employee expenses, you can see the employee, expense report, company, activities, total amount, status, and payment status. You can post expense reports after scanning them using the Scan option. By clicking the Create button, a new report can be created.
The title of the report can be added as Expense Report Summary in the provided box. Your employee id will automatically populate the Employee column. You can indicate whether you used your personal or business accounts in the Paid By area. You can mention the Manager whose consent is required in order to receive your money back, and the name of the Company can be seen in the relevant field. You can add the expenses one at a time using the Add a Line button under the Expense tab.
To choose the expenses, a pop-up will display, as shown in the screenshot below.
If you haven't yet entered your spending, click the New button to add a new line of expenses.
