Want to make sure your business trip expenses get reimbursed smoothly? These quick tips will help you stay on track and avoid common issues.
📋 Before making a purchase
-
Ask if a receipt will be provided: Always confirm that the vendor can give you a valid receipt or invoice before using their service or making a purchase.
-
Let Andela handle flights and accommodations: Ask Andela to book and pay directly—this saves time and avoids document issues.
-
Avoid paying for others: If multiple people are involved, always ask for separate receipts with only your name on them.
🧾 After each purchase
-
Review receipts immediately: Double-check that it’s itemized, complete, and includes all required info. If the vendor gives you only a card slip or an incomplete receipt, ask for a valid one.
-
Take clear pictures: Make sure the receipt is flat, well-lit, and readable. Avoid blurry or folded images.
-
Protect your receipts: Don’t toss them in your bag or pocket! Keep them in a safe place to avoid tearing, crumpling, or fading.
💾 Don’t forget to save copies
-
Keep a backup: Save a digital or physical copy of all your receipts/invoices until the reimbursement is confirmed.
