Features
EXPENSE
Emburse Assurance (Add-On)
Emburse Assurance introduces AI-powered checks that help your organization identify potential compliance risks across the expense lifecycle. Unlike traditional policy rules, Emburse Assurance detects patterns such as missing itemization, unusual spend, or suspicious receipts.
Emburse Assurance runs at multiple points in the workflow:
- During mobile receipt capture with proactive alerts
- At submission with a Potential Issues to Review modal
- After submission with a warning displayed to approvers
This helps users correct issues earlier and enables approvers to focus on higher-risk submissions.
See Emburse Assurance Overview for Emburse Spend for more details.
Improvements
EXPENSE
Improve Expense Loading Performance
Previously, some customers experienced slower load times when working with expenses, especially in environments with large datasets.
Performance has been improved to provide faster and more consistent loading when viewing and managing expenses.
This reduces delays and improves overall responsiveness for users.
ACCOUNT
Improve Alternate Email Error Messages
Previously, users saw a generic error when they tried to add an alternate email address that already existed in the system.
The alternate email flow now displays a clearer message when an email address is already in use and sends a notification to the primary account email when an alternate email is added successfully.
This improves clarity and visibility for users when managing alternate email addresses.
MOBILE APP
More Flexible Receipt Capture on Mobile
Receipt capture in the Emburse Spend mobile app now provides more flexibility when adding receipts. When uploading a receipt for reimbursable expenses, users are informed that the receipt is being scanned and can choose to stop scanning and enter details manually.
For corporate card transactions, receipt scanning continues in the background without interrupting the user flow.
Bug Fixes
CARDS
Assign Cards More Reliably
Admins could not assign unassigned cards to cardholders from Team Cards or the Card Programs management flow. This issue has been fixed, so admins can assign cards as expected.
Export Card Transaction PDFs Successfully
Some admins could not export card transactions with receipts to PDF because the export did not complete. This issue has been fixed, so PDF exports complete successfully.
Improve Card Transaction Data Reliability
We improved the reliability of card transaction processing to ensure transaction data is captured more consistently. Previously, some transactions could result in incomplete data and require manual follow-up.
Transaction data now processes more reliably, reducing the likelihood of missing information and minimizing the need for manual intervention.
EXPENSE
Allow Manager Approvers to Select Trips
Manager approvers could not select available trips when editing an expense. This issue has been fixed so approvers can map trips as expected.
MOBILE APP
Fix Mileage Validation Error Due to Decimal Rounding
Resolves an issue where mileage calculations could fail validation due to rounding.
Fix iOS Policy Violations Review Screen Display
Resolves display issues on the Policy Violations review screen.
Fix PDF Receipt Viewing Issue on iOS Devices
Resolves an issue where PDF receipts could not be opened on iOS devices.
