Expense Report Builder

Creates organized expense reports with proper categorization, calculations, and compliance documentation. Covers business travel, meals, transportation, and operational expenses.

Usage

Provide the expense items with dates, amounts, categories, and business purposes. Specify your company's expense policy limits, required approvals, and any per diem rates or mileage reimbursement rates.

Examples

• "Build an expense report for a 3-day business trip including flights, hotel, meals, and ground transportation"
• "Create a monthly expense report for a sales rep with client entertainment, mileage, and office supplies"
• "Generate a project expense report tracking all costs against a $25,000 budget with remaining balance"

Guidelines

• Categorize every expense clearly: travel, meals, lodging, transportation, supplies, entertainment, miscellaneous
• Include business purpose justification for each expense to meet IRS documentation requirements
• Match receipts to line items; unreceipted expenses over $75 may be disallowed by company policy and tax rules
• Calculate totals by category and overall; subtotals help reviewers quickly understand spending patterns
• Flag any expenses exceeding company policy limits with explanatory notes for the approver
