Expense receipt agent

What it does

An employee on the road takes a photo of a hotel or meal receipt. The Expense Receipt agent:

• Extracts the vendor, date, amount, currency, and tax.
• Suggests an expense category based on the vendor.
• Drafts the expense line in Fusion Expenses.
• Flags policy issues (e.g. "this exceeds your daily meal cap") before submission.

The employee taps approve. The line goes into the normal approval workflow.

Why it matters

Expense reports are universally hated. The minutes-per-receipt of typing and lookup add up to weekend evening work for road warriors and slow the close for finance. The agent collapses that to seconds-per-receipt.

What changes for finance

• Faster reimbursement cycles — expense reports are submitted closer to the spend date.
• Cleaner data — vendors are captured consistently, not rekeyed differently each time.
• Fewer back-and-forths with employees because policy issues are caught at capture time.

What's not changing

The agent doesn't approve expenses on its own. Manager approval, travel-policy enforcement, and expense audit all run unchanged. AI is upstream of the workflow, not inside the controls.
