At times, you may need to create an expense without a physical receipt. Yokoy handles these expenses separately, so your Finance team can review them separately. You can create expense reports without a receipt in both the Yokoy mobile app and the web app.

✏️ Note

This expense report option is only visible if it is allowed by your company‘s policy.

Choose the expense report without receipt option

Depending on your company‘s settings, you can see a note icon, which represents the no receipt expense type.

Web:

Open the Yokoy web app and select the note icon on either the top of the screen in the My tasks menu, or on the left taskbar, to create an expense report without receipt.

Mobile:

Open the Yokoy mobile app and tap the three vertical dots symbol in the lower right corner.

Then, click New receiptless expense icon to create an expense report without receipt.

Validate the expense information

The next step is to validate all the expense information. To do this, open the draft expense report and check the following fields.

✏️ Note

The fields marked with an asterisk indicate required information,

and if left empty you will not be able to submit the expense report.

  • Business purpose / description*: By default, the vendor name.

  • Category*: The category this expense falls in to. On mobile, you'll find this field below the Number of participants field.

  • Expense country*: The country where the expense was incurred.

    • Company card*: If you paid for an expense with a Company card, you must specify which card the transaction occurred on.

  • Number of participants*: By default it is 1 – However if the receipt covers the expenses of multiple people, such as for a business lunch, you can adjust the number of participants accordingly.

  • Cost objects*: The cost object this expense belongs in.

  1. Click Delete if you would like to delete the entire expense report.

  2. Click Save if you want to save the expense report and come back at a later time to finalize it.
