Reports
The Claims module has fourteen reports and no report builder. They are fixed screens, split between the two applets by audience: the Claim Applet’s are for claimants and supervisors and show lines; the Claim Cycle Applet’s are for finance and show a cycle.
For claimants and supervisors — Claim Applet
| Report | Who it is for | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| My Claim | Claimant | Your own claims, with status summary cards and a dashboard window |
| Line Reports | Claimant | Every one of your claim lines, one row per expense, with its approval sequence and history |
| Engagement Report | Claimant | Your chargeable lines grouped by the client engagement they belong to |
| Pending Approvals | Supervisor | The lines waiting for you, with approve and reject, a duplicate-receipt view and related lines |
| Staff Reports | Supervisor | Claims of the people who report to you |
| Non-Reimbursable Report | Supervisor | Lines the company already paid — auto-approved, never routed |
| Professional Study Scheme Report | Supervisor | Professional-study claims with their validity dates and any forfeiture |
The claimant screens and the supervisor screens are separated by which endpoint they call, not by a permission toggle: a claimant’s screens can only ever return their own lines. Whether someone sees the Supervisor group at all is a matter of feature visibility and the permission sets they hold.
For finance — Claim Cycle Applet
Five of these are tabs inside a cycle; four are cross-cycle screens on the sidebar.
| Report | Where | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| Bank Report | Cycle tab | Who do we pay, how much, and to which account? One row per employee, with bank code, bank name and account number pulled from their payment method, and the cycle’s crediting date |
| PV Details Report | Cycle tab + sidebar | What do we code the payment to? One row per claim line with company, branch, claim item, GL code, tax and amount. This is the working paper for a manual Payment Voucher |
| Cross-Billing Report | Cycle tab | Which claims belong to a different company or branch than the one that paid? Lines whose billing branch differs from their expense branch |
| Pivot Report | Cycle tab + sidebar | Where is the spend going? Company, branch, employee, claim item, amount |
| Professional Subscription Report | Cycle tab | Professional-body subscription claims |
| Payroll Payment Report | Sidebar | The SALARY_PAYMENT lines to hand to payroll. A CSV export sits behind it |
| Sampling Analysis Report | Cycle tab + sidebar | The results of the audit samples drawn from this cycle or across cycles, with summary tiles |
Claim Cycle History shows closed cycles read-only, with the same tabs, so last month’s Bank Report is still there after the cycle is closed.
Two things that will confuse you the first time
The Bank Report refuses to generate rather than showing an empty table. There is no claim data. means no approved lines match your payment-processing filter and the Reviewed By Level filter you have set — not that the cycle is empty. Check both filters before concluding anything.
Which report answers which question
| Question | Report |
|---|---|
| Where is my claim? | My Claim, or Line Reports for the line detail |
| What is waiting for me to approve? | Pending Approvals |
| What has my team claimed this year? | Staff Reports |
| What did we spend on this client job? | Engagement Report, then Cross-Billing Report for the finance view |
| Who do we pay this month, and to which bank account? | Bank Report |
| What GL codes does the payment voucher need? | PV Details Report |
| Which claims should payroll include? | Payroll Payment Report, and its CSV export |
| Where is the spend concentrated? | Pivot Report |
| Did the sample we checked pass? | Sampling Analysis Report |
| Which lines look suspicious? | The flagged filter on sampling — receipts reused across claims, or amounts and dates edited away from what OCR read |
What has no report
These four reports are worth ruling out before you go looking for them, because none of them exists:
- No entitlement balance ledger. Balances are visible on the employee link under the claim account and on the claim line when Display Entitlement Balance is on. There is no report that lists every employee’s remaining allowance.
- No departmental budget or variance report. Claims has no budget concept, and the Budgetary applet will not count claim spend either: only finalised purchase and sales invoices that carry budget details consume a budget register, never a claim or the payment voucher that pays it. Compare spend by expense account in your financial reports, or by claim item in the cycle’s Pivot Report, against the budget you hold.
- No policy-violation report. Violations are refused at submission rather than recorded, so there is nothing to report on. The nearest thing is the flagged-claims filter in sampling.
- No tax-deductibility summary. Claims holds no deductibility data at all. That analysis happens in Financial Accounting, on the vouchers the claims reports produced.
