Expense Report program ??
 
What expense report program do you use?

My office has an excel form that mostly works.

I've implemented workflow stuff in Sharepoint before for doing this - much cleaner imho.

Oracle (crap)
 
We have an Oracle implementation at my (large) company. the entry into the program requires a seperate password, the UI is totally unituitive. I would not recommend the front end experience to anyone.

The good part is that once your stuff is in the workflow is decent, (until a report gets rejected and just goes poof!).

We use Concur Expense. www.concur.com.

User experience is far better than any other system I've used.

I have used Excel spreedsheets and Time and Expense reporting software from Deltek

http://www.deltek.com/products/timea...se/default.asp

I love the simplicity of Excel and its free.

Expense Reports with Deltek are easy from an admin / approving standpoint.

At the last place I worked, we used PeopleSoft. I thought it was a huge PITA, but at least it had a decent web interface, and you could submit receipts electronically.

But the place I work now uses SAP, and it makes PeopleSoft look awesome. This is 2006, why can't I scan my receipts and attach them as a PDF?

That being said... I prefered doing expense reports at the small ISP I worked for in college... copy the receipt, hand it to the CEO, and 5 minutes later you either got cash or a check. :)

My company uses Lawson. It is awful, mainly b/c I think they didn't put the time in to customize the modules for my company, but it is not intuitive at all. It takes 10 minutes to put in a 4 line expense report.

My employer has deltek/costpoint but insofar they haven't deployed the expense part. Just time reporting.

We developed an in house Lotus Notes workflow application. Works pretty well. We looked at several hosted commercial systems but didn't like them for one reason or the other (e.g. multi currency support, different approvers for the same person dependent on parameters).

We use Expensable. Web-based and it works well although it has a few quirks with Firefox.

We use Concur. As said earlier, excellent user interface. It also automatically downloads all the company card transactions which speeds up entry of those. One drawback of Concur is that you have to use the mouse to click on categories, you can't just enter from the keyboard.

I still use Expensible to track expenses on my laptop. It allows me to search for specific transactions and gives me a good history of past expenses. Concur has limited search (as far as I know) and my company hasn't implemented the off-line capability. It also loses past history with each upgrade. Sadly, I can't transfer entries from one to the other, I do it manually.

does anyone have any excel expense report files that they would share?

thanks,

Xyzzy Jul 28, 2008 12:31 pm

I can email you something in a week or so when I get back to the US. It's not great, but it works. Remind me...

Our system was internally developed. It's pretty good because it automatically downloads credit card transactions. I just code and attach scanned receipts.
