AI expense and petty cash management for multi‑site operations

Site staff capture a bill on their phone, AI reads it and finance rules check it. Most claims approve automatically, and one balanced journal reaches Oracle Fusion, E‑Business Suite or SAP every day.

How a claim is processed

Every document follows one path. Rules settle most claims; finance sees only the exceptions.

Step 1

Capture

Site staff photograph a bill, deposit slip, trip sheet or delivery note.

Step 2

Read

Generative AI extracts vendor, tax number, lines and VAT, in English or Arabic.

Step 3

Check

Limits, duplicates, split bills, VAT and float balance are checked on every claim.

Step 4

Approve

Rules approve clean claims; the rest route to managers or finance.

Step 5

Post

One balanced journal per site per day posts to your ERP.

Every claim checked the moment it is captured

Each claim shows what the AI read, how confident it is, every rule result and the live site float, so approvals take seconds rather than days.

  • Vendor, amount and VAT read with a confidence score
  • Category caps, duplicates and split bills checked automatically
  • Live float balance for the site
  • Clean claims approved by rule and added to the daily journal
Illustrative example with fictional data

Finance rules engine

Each rule is a scope, a set of conditions and one action. Finance tests a change against the last 30 days of claims before switching it on.

Timing and evidence

Old bills are blocked and late ones need a reason. Photos and itemised bills are required above set amounts.

Limits and caps

Per-claim caps by grade, category caps, per-head hospitality limits, and daily and weekly spend caps.

Duplicates and fraud

Exact duplicates are stopped; near duplicates, split bills and spend concentrated on one vendor are flagged.

VAT and AI confidence

VAT is recovered only with a valid tax number, and any low-confidence reading goes to finance.

Routing

An approval ladder by amount, with government fees always to finance and no self-approval.

Float and audit

Claims above the float are blocked, known vendors are coded to the GL and a random sample goes to audit.

Approval limits and routing

Approval limits sit on the role, not the person. Example limits in AED; each organisation sets its own.

Claim amountApproverNotes
Up to AED 100Approved by rulesWhen every check passes
AED 100 to 500Site managerClaimant in the chain is skipped to the next approver

AED 2,000 to 5,000Finance reviewerGovernment fees and low-confidence readings always go to finance
Above AED 5,000Finance managerClaims older than the submission window are blocked

Cash floats and replenishment

Each site holds one cash float with a named custodian. The balance stays live and a top-up is requested before cash runs out.

Step 1

Float issued

Sized by site type, such as a showroom, warehouse or project store.

Step 2

Claims approved

Each approval reduces the float, and the custodian sees the live balance.

Step 3

Top-up requested

Automatically at 20% remaining or weekly, pre-filled with the claims it covers.

Step 4

Cash received

Finance approves, the custodian confirms and a replenishment journal posts.

Documents captured on one engine

Each document has its own checks, but all run on the same engine and reach the ERP the same way.

Petty cash bills

Receipts and tax invoices paid from the float, read by AI and coded from the vendor master.

Deposit slips

Daily sales cash counted by denomination and compared with expected sales.

Trip sheets

Fuel claims checked against odometer distance, vehicle class and the day's pump price.

Delivery notes

Signed delivery notes matched line by line against the order, with shortages raised at the gate.
