Request for Expenses

A business lunch with a supplier?
Journeyed by taxi to a client location?
Visited another city to develop the business?

In all the above cases you might have incurred expenses on behalf of your organisation. Teamnest.com provides you the means to raise an expense request in order for the organisation to reimburse you the same.

To raise an expense:

1. Go to Expenses from the left navigation                                                                                                                
   
   
   
2. Click on the ‘Add Expense’ button on the top right of the page. Choose the type of expense you have incurred on behalf of the organisation:
   1. Business Expense - typically for food, gifts, office supplies, and similar expenses made
   2. Local Travel Expense - typically for claiming money spent on fuel for self-owned vehicles or local transport like taxi
   3. Trip Expense - typically for claiming money spent on business trips. Under Trips, you can claim expenses for
      • Travel
      • Accommodation
      • Others
        
        
3. The Expense Request form will appear. Please fill in the details with the relevant information. For a Local Travel expense request, the system will pick up the location from Google as you start typing the address.
   
   
   
   
4. Your Expense Request is created. A notification will be sent to your Reporting Manager for approval
   
   
5. You can monitor the status of your request from the ‘My Expenses’ tab on the page
   
   
   
6. Until it has been approved or rejected, the status will be shown as ‘Pending’.
   
   
7. If the expense is approved, you will get a notification. If it is rejected, the reason for rejection will be mentioned. In both cases, the status of the expense request will be updated.
