FEATURES

A fully automated, bi-directional integration with pre-packaged connectors that leverages the existing business logic in your AP/Finance system, the Expense + Request/Encumbrance Connector includes features in the Expense Connector as features of real time budget checking throughout the request workflow and real time creation of an encumbrance for approved requests. The integration also includes support for cancelling, closing, and liquidating encumbrances. If used in conjunction with the expense report connector, the integration will automate the connection and application of expense reimbursements and other payments to encumbrances created from requests.
