Emburse Enterprise has introduced several enhancements to streamline expense reporting and provide greater clarity for travelers and units.
Airfare seat assignment expense type
A new Airfare Seat Assignment expense type is now available for designated seat purchases made after the initial airfare booking. Use this expense type only for seat assignments (not upgrades), as some airlines require travelers to purchase designated seat assignments within the main cabin if they want a specific seat assigned before check-in.
Expenses over $75 will automatically route for audit review, supporting policy compliance.
This enhancement eliminates the need to submit an airfare booking exception form for seat assignment purchases, reducing administrative steps for travelers and units.
Field name updates
To improve clarity, two field names have been updated:
-
- Trip End Date is now Trip/Event End Date, reflecting that the policy applies to advance payments for both travel and events (such as deposits for department hosting).
- Date is now Transaction Date, clarifying that this field should capture the date the transaction occurred—not the report creation date.
These updates appear both within the expense report header and when adding expenses, helping ensure accurate reporting.
PCard improvements
Invoice line item details are now available for PCard transactions when vendors provide itemized data. This enhancement allows users to see the item description, quantity, unit amount, and total amount directly in Emburse. While not available for all transactions, vendors like Amazon typically send itemized invoice details through.
