Expense Receipt Reconciliation Agent

Every expense claim line is backed by a matching receipt.

Expense Receipt Reconciliation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Expense claims often do not line up with their receipts: the date is off, the amount differs, or the receipt is in a foreign currency. This agent matches each claim line with its receipt and checks amount, date and currency. It works on the biggest discrepancy first. For a foreign receipt it needs a rate source, such as the card statement line, before it accepts the converted amount. When a line does not match, it requests a specific correction from the employee, then recalculates when the corrected receipt arrives. It keeps identity mismatches, like a receipt in someone else's name, as a separate issue. It prepares a review packet, and finance approves reimbursement. Edge case: a receipt without rate evidence stays open even if the amount looks reasonable.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It checks the biggest discrepancy first; foreign currency needs a rate source; identity mismatches stay separate.

  • Match tolerance follows the expense policy rules.
  • Foreign currency needs a rate source before acceptance.
  • Biggest discrepancy is handled first.
  • Identity mismatches are reported separately and never auto-resolved.

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Amount tolerance before a mismatch is flagged (default $1 or 1%)
  • Accepted rate sources (card statement, company rate table)
  • Days a claim can stay open before a reminder (default 7)
  • Expense policy rules to apply
  • Who approves reimbursements above a set amount

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Approving reimbursement
  • Policy changes

Hard limits

  • Never approves payments.

It stops when

  • Done: all lines matched or queued.

An example run

What happensOn May 12 an employee claims $95 for a dinner with an 84 euro receipt and no rate evidence. The currency check fails, so the agent requests the card statement line. The statement shows $91.40, so the agent recalculates the claim to $91.40 and notes the $3.60 difference. Finance reviews the packet with 22 matched lines and approves reimbursement at the corrected amount.
