What is the primary function of the “Expense Management” module in Workday?

The "Expense Management" module in Workday is primarily designed to streamline employee expense tracking and reporting. This functionality enables organizations to effectively capture, review, and reimburse employee expenses related to business activities. It simplifies the process for employees to submit their expenses, facilitates approvals, and provides insights into spending patterns through reporting capabilities.

By using this module, companies can ensure compliance with their travel and expense policies, improve the accuracy of expense reporting, automate workflows, and ultimately enhance efficiency in managing company finances related to employee expenditures. This emphasis on tracking and reporting distinguishes it from modules intended for payroll processing, vendor payments, or investment management, which serve different functional areas of financial management.
