01 — What you create

From a stack of receipts an approve-on-sight report.

Every row carries a date, vendor, category, payment method, and reimbursement status. Totals reconcile per category and per status — finance reviewers see everything at a glance.

02 — How it works

Three steps from receipt pile to report.

No spreadsheet template to set up, no accounting software to learn. Log the receipts as you take them, and ship the report at the end of the week or month.

01

Log each expense

Date, vendor, description, category, payment method, status, amount. Twelve category presets and seven payment methods make data entry a few clicks per row.

02

Set status as you go

Pending → Submitted → Approved → Reimbursed (or Rejected). Each status is colour-coded so a reviewer can scan the report in seconds.

03

Download the report

PDF with a chip-coded table, category breakdown, and signature line — plus an .xlsx with a Summary sheet for management or filing.

03 — Built for everyone who travels

Every column an approver needs to see.

Per-row inline editing

Click any cell and type — date, vendor, description, category, payment method, status, and amount.

12 expense categories

Travel, meals, software, supplies, marketing, professional fees, communications, insurance + 4 more.

5 reimbursement statuses

Pending, Submitted, Approved, Reimbursed, Rejected — each colour-coded as a chip in the PDF and on screen.

Category & status breakdowns

Mini summary tables in both the PDF and the XLSX — group totals, percentage shares, status counts.

Reimbursable auto-total

Everything not yet reimbursed (pending + submitted + approved) is summed separately — your "submit this" total.

Two-sheet XLSX export

Detail sheet with every expense plus a Summary sheet with totals, breakdowns, and status counts.

04 — Common questions

Everything about expense tracking.

01Who is this for?

Anyone who needs to track and submit expenses — employees on business trips, freelancers tracking project costs, small business owners running their own books, or anyone preparing a monthly expense report for their accountant.

02How does "reimbursable" differ from "total"?

Total = every expense logged, regardless of status. Reimbursable = expenses with status Pending, Submitted, or Approved (not yet Reimbursed). It's your "still-owed-to-me" number, useful when chasing payment.

03Does the tool attach receipts?

No — receipts stay separately. Each expense row has a Reference field where you can note a receipt number, transaction ID, or filename. Many users export the PDF then staple physical receipts behind it.

04Can multiple people share one report?

Each report is single-owner. For team-level expense aggregation, see the Expense Report Generator (Business Documents) which rolls up multiple employees' expenses into one approver-ready PDF.

05Why no OCR receipt reading?

The free tier is form-driven (faster for power users). OCR — reading receipt images into structured rows — is available on the pdfFiller premium tier alongside batch processing and accounting-software push.

06Output formats?

PDF (chip-coded status, category breakdown, signature line — print and submit) and .xlsx (two sheets: Detail and Summary, useful for accountants and pivot tables).
