Report Automation Overview
Admins can enable report automation and save time for submitters by generating reports automatically. Employees need not spend time on tasks such as creating and submitting reports manually. With report automation, Zoho Expense can automatically generate and submit expense reports on behalf of employees. You can specify when reports should be created, set a custom naming template, and configure preferences such as reminders for expense creation and manual report submission, excluding specific roles from report automation, and so on.
You can use report automation for your employees’ general Expenses, Corporate Card Expenses, and Trip Expenses.
All Expenses: A report is automatically generated to include all the expenses that were created by an employee /submitter during the specified period.
Corporate Card Expenses: A report is automatically generated for a corporate card, and all the expenses that were incurred using it by an employee during the specified period will be automatically added to the report.
Trip Expenses: A report is automatically generated for a trip, and all the expenses incurred by an employee during the trip’s period will be automatically added to the report.
Notes:
- This feature is available for the Trial, Premium, and Enterprise plans of Zoho Expense.
 - If you’ve configured report automation for all expenses, corporate card expenses, and trip expenses, there will be conflict in the report generation period. The report will first be generated for trip expense, then for corporate card expense, and finally for general expense.
