Approve Expenses with Dynamic Approvals Features

/in , , , /by

Tired of complex expense approval processes? Look no further than Gorilla Expense‘s dynamic approvals that streamline the process and make compliance easier. Following are the three types of approvals that will help make your approvals process easier, simpler and faster:

MULTI-LEVEL APPROVALS

Multi-level approvals send entire reports through a chain of approvers defined on the user profile. Assign the timesheets to single or multiple approvers and save the details. Once the status turns to All Levels Approved the employee will be notified that the timesheet has been approved at the final level and then the timesheet will be available to AP/Accounting to be pushed to the Accounting system.

Check out how to assign timesheet approvers on the user profile here.

MULTI-LEVEL APPROVALS WITH LIMITS

Multi-level approvals with limits give you added control by only sending reports through additional levels of approvers if the total on the expense report exceeds a certain predefined limit.

Check out how to assign expense approvers on the user profile here.

LINE-LEVEL APPROVALS

Line-level approvals assign different approvers based on the project for each expense line, making the process even more flexible. The system will provide the user the option to select one of the many projects they are connected to when they make a cost. Each line of the expenditure report will be forwarded to the appropriate project manager from the user-selected project after submission for approval.

Case Study: How Grand Isle Shipyard Upgraded from Manual Tracking to Microsoft Dynamics GP Project Accounting Module

/in , , , , /by

Grand Isle Shipyard (GIS) was established in 1948, LA as a modest company designed to serve the commercial fishing industry. It quickly evolved into the emerging Oil and Gas Industry on entering the Gulf of Mexico. Their mission is to provide quality products and services to customers in a safe and environmentally sound manner at fair and competitive prices. Today the company has advanced and diversified to become one of the industry’s most capable and trusted energy partners.

It serves the oil and gas industry both nationally and internationally. GIS has the capacity to offer solutions in the upstream, midstream, and downstream markets, as well as the resources to span the whole life cycle of their customers’ projects. From the planning stages of large projects through construction, commissioning, and finally decommissioning, they coordinate their services with operations.

THE PROBLEM: Weekly Manual Time-Entry and Verification of Employees

Oil and natural gas are significant players in the energy sector and have an impact on the global economy. The oil and gas industry is capital intensive and dependent on cutting edge technology. GIS used a powerful ERP system – Microsoft Dynamics GP for project accounting and despite this, the company’s accounting team had to manually enter the timesheets of the employees.

Manual time tracking led to delay in approvals and added burden not only on the accounting team but also the employees. This said, the company needed a powerful, seamless and easier approach to time tracking to improve visibility and process hourly work. This change from manual tracking to automotive tracking will have a multiplicity of positive impacts on the accounting team and the employees. Starting from quick approvals to easy time management.

THE SOLUTION: Flawless Integration of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Project Accounting Module

Grand Isle Shipyard used Microsoft Dynamics GP for project accounting. They were looking for a scalable automation solution that could map to certain fields in Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Project Accounting Module without a hitch. With its intuitive and easy-to-use integration, Gorilla Expense became the answer to GIS’s problem.

Gorilla Expense customised the automation process for timesheets to meet GIS’s needs. This flawless integration of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Project Accounting Module convinced the GISY team to switch to Gorilla Expense’s Timesheet Solution. The transition to an automated and user-friendly solution for accounting teams and employees took less than two months.

This solution allowed employees to automatically log hours within their systems and customise their timesheets to make the approval process faster and frictionless. Within two months of rolling out the solution, GIS has 530 active users to date. The automated timesheets gave GIS greater visibility and streamlined approval process. This in turn resulted in a decline in expenditure and rise in task value. Employees focused on high-value tasks.
