Reimbursement / 立替金申請

Questetra BPM Suite makes various application processes in your organization a lot easier to handle. Though our company is still very small and doesn't have many application forms in our office, we are doing very well in handling the application forms using Questetra BPM Suite.

However, it needs some thought if you want to use Questetra BPM Suite for reimbursement application that incorporates submission of receipts.

The other day, David Pogue, a famous New York Times tech columnist, wrote about a very handy way to manage receipts.

If you use the receipt scanner mentioned in this column, you can scan receipts to manage them. The scanner recognizes letters on receipts, makes multiple receipts into one PDF file, and also allows you to email receipts right away.

I don't know if there is any problem, from a point of view of audit, in storing receipts in the form of PDF files, but if there is none, it's a very attractive solution, isn’t it?

Questetra BPM Suiteを使うと、社内の各種申請業務がとても便利になります。当社はまだまだ小さな会社なので、大した申請業務もないのですが、それでもQuestetra BPM Suiteを使ってとても効率的に申請業務を実施できています。

そんななかで、立替金申請だけは、領収書の提出をどうするか悩ましいところです。

先日、ニューヨークタイムズ紙の著名なコラムニスト、David Pogue氏がコラムで便利な方法を紹介していました。

ここに紹介されている小さなスキャナを使えば、領収書をスキャンして、文字を解読して整理し、複数の領収書をひとつのPDFファイルにでき、すぐさまメールで送信もできるそうです。
領収書のPDFの保存には税務的な課題もありそうな気がしますが、問題ないのであれば魅力的なソリューションですね。
