Supervisors can review and approve these documents in the same way. As a result, the expense reporting and payment process is accelerated throughout the company. Approval notification is automated so companies can shorten the time it takes to generate invoices from cost information. Moreover, management can retrieve standardized reports to see budgets versus actual spending, unbilled time, unbilled cost, as well as billable time by item, consultant, or customer. Costs entered by workers appear on reports immediately in real time. There is no need for database synchronization or posting routines to obtain up-to-date cost reports.
