Per diem expenses
As soon as per diem expenses are imported into Expense Management, you can immediately start working with them. You can find all per diem expenses on the Per Diems list. To ease expense validation, and for full clarity over the calculation process, a fact box displays the breakdown of the per diem amount.
You can process the documents further depending on your company workflows. Use the following guides for more insights into the main processes.
