Pokee Official Skill
Expense Reporting Automation Template
Validate expenses against policy, route for approval, and flag violations automatically. No more manual line-item review for every report.
How This Skill Works
- 1
Expense report submitted
An employee submits expenses via email, form, or forwarded receipts.
- 2
Pokee validates against policy
Each line item is checked against your expense policy (daily meal max, hotel limits, prohibited categories).
- 3
Route for approval or return
Compliant reports go to the approver. Violations are returned to the submitter with specific issues flagged.
- 4
Approved expenses logged
Approved items are logged in QuickBooks or your accounting system.
Example Prompt
“When an expense report email arrives with receipt attachments: extract each line item (vendor, amount, category, date). Check against our policy (meals max $50/day, hotels max $250/night, no alcohol, pre-approval required over $500). If compliant, forward to the submitter's manager for approval. If violations found, reply to submitter listing specific issues.”
Tools Involved
