Why is this important?

Statuses are the simplest way to track where an expense is in the reconciliation workflow: that is, consolidating what expenses were raised against what payments occurred. Job ready has ensured this process is as easy as possible so that checks and balances have always been maintained and signed off. 

You can mark a record as ready for the next step in your internal processes, through just a quick click. You choose which statuses are relevant for your organisation!

How it works

Every expense will have two types of statuses. 

• The status

         This tells the user where the expense is in the approval workflow. 

• The finance status

  This tells the user where the expense is in the finance reconciliation or jobseeker reimbursement workflow. This is designed for your finance team to use according to your organisation's needs, if and where it is applicable. 

They are a handy tool to manually indicate that an expense reconciliation is:

• In progress
• Closed
• Ready for reimbursement 
• Read for Finance 
• Compliance checked
