Costpoint Help

My Outstanding Expenses

Use the My Outstanding Expenses application to manage your outstanding expenses. This includes expenses imported from a credit card batch feed, ones added in Costpoint Mobile T&E, or those you manually add from the application itself.

From My Outstanding Expenses, you can:

  • Add new expenses and upload receipts or other attachments to them.

    If your System Administrator enables Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) processing, the first receipt you upload to a new record is scanned for expense information that can be extracted to prepopulate certain fields on the form, such as the amount or date of the expense.

  • Upload multiple attachments to an expense.

  • Edit and/or delete manually added expenses

  • View expenses imported from a credit card batch feed and if needed, upload attachments.

    Attachments uploaded to expenses imported from a credit card feed are not processed by ICR

  • Manage uploaded attachments

  • Resolve duplicate expenses if they occur

The expenses you add in My Outstanding Expenses become available in the Expense Report application. When you select the expense, all the existing details and attachments are automatically loaded to the expense report.

For a visual overview of the Outstanding Expenses application, see the My Outstanding Expenses Quick Steps.

Note: Attention System Administrators: Manage Outstanding Expenses is available to any user who is assigned rights to the Expense Report application. However, before first use, you must add a new manual batch type.
