Abstract:

A system and method for processing expense reimbursement claims supported by at least one receipt associated with identifying indicia. The system includes computer readable memory, in which is defined an expense voucher record having a charge field for identifying an entity incurring expenses, an expense field for identifying expenses incurred by the entity, and a voucher identification field. The system further includes a computer in communication with the memory, for loading the voucher identification field with a first code associated with the identifying indicia, for comparing the contents of the charge field and the expense fields with corresponding reference data according to pre-defined verification criteria to determine whether or not the contents of the charge field and the expense field meet the verification criteria. If the contents of the charge field and expense field meet the pre-defined verification criteria, the computer associates the expense voucher record with a position in a receipt required list.
