Assure Expenses | Adding an Expense Item with a Receipt

Towards the end of October 2026, you will notice a refreshed look and feel across the Expenses pages.

These updates are designed to make the system easier to navigate, with a cleaner, more visual, and more modern design that helps you find what you need more quickly.

There are no changes to how you complete your usual tasks, such as adding your expenses, or submitting an expense claim, except for how you navigate the menu options.

The design changes apply only to the desktop version of Expenses. The mobile app is not being changed.

Your system configuration will determine whether or not you need to provide information in each of the following fields.

If you do not see one or more of the fields described below don’t worry, your organisation has determined that they do not need you to enter the information and, in this case, the fields do not display.

Date of ExpenseEnter the date that the expense was incurred. This is a mandatory field.
Organisation / Address Name / Company Visited

Specify the organisation that the expense was incurred for. For example, if you are adding a parking receipt expense for visiting another company or organisation, enter the details of where you visited.

Click in the field and type the organisation that you want to add. If the organisation you have typed is not present within your system, a pop-up will appear asking you if you’d like to save. Alternatively, click the magnifying glass to search all existing saved organisations within your system.

    This way of specifying your expense item is to enable the expense to be added from the receipt wallet image whilst also allowing the two original methods of adding an expense to the claim.

    This is now aligned with how you select your expense item via the mobile app giving you a consistent approach no matter whether you use the app or the desktop version.

    You can make a selection by searching by item or category, for example, “Train Ticket” or “Travel”.

    Searching for Train Ticket under the Travel expense category.

  2. Provide the relevant details for the expense matching to your receipt:

Summary of Options for Adding an Expense with a Receipt

There are 3 options to add your expense item to your current claim, and you can choose the option you prefer.

Options include:

  • Option 1 - Click on the Add New Expense button
  • Option 2 - Navigate to your existing Current Claims
  • Option 3 - Use a receipt in the Receipt Wallet

Option 1 navigates you directly to your current claim and allows the expense item details to be entered following which you can upload the receipt against the item.

Option 2 involves more clicks to navigate to the current claim but then follows the same path as option 1.

Option 3 is new but probably the easiest to use since there are fewer navigational clicks and fewer details to enter. Selecting the image from the wallet directs you straight to the current claim where some of the details are already populated, and, when you complete and save the remaining expense item details, the receipt is already attached to the item for you.
