Email Receipts to someone else's Repository or their Receipt EXPRESS

You can email attachments to another users' repository - this allows receipts/attachments to show up in the Employee’s Repository/Receipt EXPRESS simply by typing the following in the email subject line:

• E##102003   where 102003 is the employee id of the employee you want the attachment to go to their repository.

For example,

if David wants to forward a receipt to Lisa with employee id 93923, he just need to email to s##@emailexpense.com and in the subject needs to type E##93923 and the receipt will be in Lisa’s repository/ Receipt EXPRESS.

This feature allows travel agents and administrative assistants to forward attachments to other employees' repository directly.

Email Receipts and request for OCR (this feature must be enabled on your site)

Now you can request for your receipts to get OCR'ed in advance.   To request for your receipt to go through OCR you just need to add one of the following to your email subject.

Once you email the receipts the system will start the OCR process, and once it is complete you will receive an email.
