- Daily Expense Reimbursement Forms: Verify if the invoice header matches the required entity or department for reimbursement.
- Invoice and Reimbursement Amount Verification: Ensure that the invoice amount is equal to or greater than the amount being claimed for reimbursement.
- Expense Advance Request Forms: Crefully document the cancellation of a loan, including the lending company, and the borrower's details.
- Offsetting Advances: Validate the receipt information, ensuring accuracy in the payment details for offsetting the loan.
- Advance Payment Forms: Verify that the designated account for receiving the advance payment is not a personal account, adhering to financial policies and regulations.
This comprehensive automation of the five key document categories significantly enhances operational efficiency, ensures financial accuracy, and facilitates a smoother business flow for FOR-U Smart Freight.
