About this skill
About Expense claim checker
Expense claims break policy in small ways that slip through manual review. This skill checks each claim against your policy's limits, categories and receipt rules, flags violations with the clause they break and calculates the amount that can be approved now. It lists the questions to put to the employee about anything on hold. Consistent checks are fairer to employees and save finance teams from awkward conversations months later. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the expense policy and a list of claims (date, category, amount, receipt yes/no, note); the reply is laid out as “Claim table: claim, status, clause, approvable amount”, “Total claimed vs approvable” and “Questions”.
