I'm looking for some ideas on how best to revamp our Employee Expense process. I'm curious as to how others have developed their own employee expense process, using Forms, Workflow, etc.

Our organization has an Employee Expense Process in place using a Laserfiche Forms. This is a public facing form as the majority of the expense submissions are submitted by our pilots; we have approximately 70 pilots on staff so it's not feasible to provide them with individual or participant accounts at this time.

My goal is to make this process smooth for the submitter, the approving manager and those in the finance department.  

Our current process is pretty basic and it's main goal was to allow our staff to submit their expenses from anywhere. We have obviously accomplished this, but I'm sure there is so much more that can be done to make this process better.

Below is our starting form based on requirements from our finance department:

There isn't much difference for the approval portion aside from adding a name, a signature or requesting additional approval from a Director.

Our approving managers find that comparing attached receipts against the line items can be cumbersome, and I agree.

How can this be improved? How can we speed up this process from start to finish? Does anyone have any feedback, suggestions, examples they can share?

Thanks
