Excerpt
Excerpt Here is the flow of how EERS works for travel reimbursement: the employee completes an expense report and submits online to the approver; the approver receives it (including summary and detail) awith company policy exceptions highlighted; the form is then routed to a central processor where auditing rules determine if the report should be processed or routed to an exception processor; any exceptions are routed to the exception processor for review and approval; and finally, payment files are prepared for the credit card company, and payroll and financial information are automatically entered into the company's general ledger.
