Business Central
Expense Management

Employees submit expenses with receipts from their phone. Approved claims post
straight into Business Central — no BC licence required to submit or approve.

What Business Central expense management in Cliqo does

Employees create expenses and attach receipts directly from their mobile phone — no laptop, no scanner. Once an expense is fully approved through a configurable workflow, it integrates into Business Central automatically as a Purchase Invoice, ready for payment.

What's coming next

Two capabilities are on the roadmap and not yet available: automatically creating an expense by photographing a receipt, and company credit card statement management. Both build on the mobile receipt capture that's live today.

HOW IT WORKS

Expense approval in four steps

01

Employee submits from their phone

Create the expense and attach a receipt photo directly from a mobile device, wherever the employee is.

Rules route it to an approver

Configurable rules based on cost centre, department groupings, or budget data decide who reviews the claim.

03

Approver signs off in Teams

Approve or reject the claim from Microsoft Teams or email, without needing a Business Central licence.

04

Posts into Business Central

Fully approved expenses integrate into Business Central automatically as a Purchase Invoice.
