How travel bookings become expenses in Expensify

1. Book your trip

• Go to the Travel tab in Expensify.
• Search for flights, hotels, or car rentals.
• Confirm your booking just like you would on any travel site.

Once booked, everything else is automated.

2. Booking data is imported

• Details like flight numbers, hotel names, and prices are imported into Expensify.
• A receipt is automatically generated based on your booking.

3. Expenses are auto-created

• A separate expense is created for each trip item (e.g., flight, hotel) and any add-ons (e.g., seat fees).
• Each expense shows the correct amount and currency.
• Receipts are matched to card expenses and added to the right report.
• A report is created for the trip or the expense is added to an open report.

4. Workspace policy and accounting sync

• Expenses follow your workspace’s rules for categories, tags, and GL codes.
• If you’ve connected an accounting tool like QuickBooks or NetSuite, expenses sync automatically after approval or reimbursement.

What you don’t need to do

Since Expensify Travel is fully integrated with Expensify, you can skip:

• Forwarding booking emails to receipts@expensify.com
• Manually creating travel expenses
• Uploading or attaching receipts
• Setting up an external travel policy

Expensify handles all of this in the background.

FAQ

Do I need a separate login for Expensify Travel?

Nope! Expensify Travel is part of your existing Expensify account.

What if my trip changes?

Updated booking details automatically sync with your expenses. If something looks off, you can always edit the expense manually.
