Frequently Asked Questions
Can expenses be linked to client invoices?
Yes. Project-linked expenses can be marked as billable and automatically included in the next client invoice with receipt documentation.
Does Refront support receipt scanning?
You can photograph receipts with your phone and Refront extracts key details (amount, date, vendor) using OCR to pre-fill the expense entry.
Can I set expense approval workflows?
Expenses can require manager approval before reimbursement. You can configure approval thresholds so small expenses are auto-approved while larger ones need review.
