The Expense Reports Module in MokoCRM enables employees to submit, track, and get reimbursed for work-related expenses such as transportation, meals, lodging, and supplies. Managers can validate and account for these reports with full auditability and financial control.

  1. Navigate to:
    Home → Setup → Modules → Expense Reports
  2. Click Activate
  3. Optional: configure expense categories and validation workflows under Setup → Expense Reports

🧮 Defining Expense Types

Set standard expense categories for reporting consistency:

  • Labels such as Travel, Meals, Office Supplies
  • Limits or caps for automatic validation
  • Tax rate for each type (if applicable)

Go to:
Expense Reports → Setup → Expense Types

🧾 Creating an Expense Report

  1. Go to Expense Reports → New Report
  2. Enter:
    • Report title and description
    • Report period or date

  3. Add expense lines:
    • Date
    • Type (e.g., lodging, transport)
    • Amount, tax, notes

  4. Save the report
  5. Submit for validation

✅ Approval Workflow

Managers or finance roles can:

  • Review submitted reports
  • Approve, reject, or request corrections
  • Leave internal comments on each line item

Statuses include Draft, Submitted, Validated, Reimbursed, or Refused.

💸 Payment & Accounting

Once approved:
