Expense & Travel Allowance Automation
Grade- and region-based travel allowances, approval matrices by trip type and amount, and expense submission from the employee portal.
The problem
What organisations struggle with
Travel allowances depend on employee grade, destination region and trip duration. Calculating them manually and routing approvals by email leads to inconsistent payments.
The solution
How we solve it in Odoo
Allowance rates configured per grade for local and international regions, automatic calculation from trip times, and an approval matrix that routes each expense by trip type, department and amount.
