How to Itemize Expenses for Faster Approval

Reimbursement requests get delayed when expenses are unclear.

Best practices
  • Use clear descriptions (what the expense was for)
  • Group expenses by category (travel, meals, supplies)
  • Include an expense period and reference number
  • Note whether receipts are included or available
Clear itemization helps finance teams approve reimbursement quickly.

Travel, Mileage, and Per Diem on Reimbursement Invoices

Travel-related reimbursements are common.

Common categories
  • Travel costs (transportation, lodging, transit)
  • Meals or per diem
  • Mileage reimbursement
Keeping travel categories separate makes expense coding easier and reduces follow-up questions.

Pass-Through Client Costs and Cost Recovery

Many service providers pay costs on behalf of clients.

Examples
  • Booking fees
  • Subcontractor expenses
  • Materials purchased for a client
  • Platform or processing costs
Listing pass-through expenses separately helps clients recognize them as reimbursable costs rather than service fees.
