Employee Settings > Employee Creditor Mapping

In order to create an expense entry in WorkBook, an employee is required to have at least one employee creditor linked to their profile.

Usually, it is recommended to configure the WorkBook system so that the employee creditor will be created and mapped automatically in the relevant company upon adding a new employee profile.

Controlled by system variable 694 - Automatically create employee as creditor.

There are scenarios where you will need to do the mapping manually:

  • The system variable 694 mentioned above is set to “No Automation”.

  • A new company has been set up and the existing employee is required to register expenses within that new company

  • The employee needs to submit expenses on behalf of another employee

  • The employee uses the company credit card to pay for expenses

To map the employee creditor to an employee, you will need access to the Settings module > Employee Settings > Employee Creditor Mappings.

Please reach out to your WorkBook system administrator or your Consultant if you cannot access the module/menu.

ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL FIND:
