Expenses questions
What happens after I submit an expense for approval?+
It goes to the first approver in the matching rule. They can approve, reject with a reason, or push it back. You'll see the current state in the Approval Chain Status panel on the expense.
Can I create an expense for a teammate?+
Each expense belongs to whoever creates it. Submit your own expenses through your account; managers can add on behalf of someone else only if your organization has set that up.
Does Nautis automatically detect duplicate receipts?+
Yes — if you scan or upload a receipt that closely matches an existing expense, Nautis flags it so you can decide whether to keep both.
Can I export receipts along with the CSV?+
The CSV export contains the expense data with receipt URLs. Use those URLs to download individual receipts; bulk receipt export depends on your plan.
What's the difference between Categories and Merchants?+
Categories describe what you bought (travel, software, meals). Merchants describe who you paid (Uber, Slack, Joe's Coffee). Use both for the cleanest analytics.
Does the AI scan handle non-English receipts?+
Yes — receipt parsing handles common languages and currencies. Always double-check the merchant and amount before saving.
Can I set per-category budgets?+
Yes. Each category supports a monthly budget and the dashboard shows the burn-down.
Can I set up recurring expenses?+
Yes — for subscriptions and known monthly costs, create a recurring template and Nautis logs them automatically.
