Expenses

From receipt to reimbursement. Luna HR handles expense reports, multi-step approvals, mileage claims, and payment tracking — so your finance team can stop chasing paperwork.

Luna HR expense report with line items, AI-scanned receipts, and totals

The complete expense lifecycle. Submit, approve, authorise, pay — every step tracked, every receipt attached.

01

Expense reports

Group related expenses into reports with titles, descriptions, and supporting documents. Draft, edit, and submit when ready.

02

Multi-step approvals

Configurable approval chains: manager → finance → director. Per-step conditions, auto-approve rules, and escalation timeouts.

03

Mileage claims

Log journeys with postcodes, distance, and vehicle details. HMRC AMAP rates applied automatically — 45p/25p tiered for cars, 24p motorcycle, 20p bicycle.

04

Receipt management

Attach photos or documents to every line item. AI-powered receipt scanning extracts vendor, amount, and date automatically.

05

Payment tracking

Mark reports as paid with method (payroll, bank transfer, petty cash) and reference number. Export CSV payment runs for batch processing.

The expense module, up close. Every view — from receipt capture to approval chains.

Budgets with a brake pedal

Set a cap per category, per department. Luna tracks spend in real time and warns when a report would tip over — finance gets notified the moment it happens, not at month-end.
