# Expense Policy Decision Engine

#### Enterprise finance teams face critical bottlenecks in expense management

* 100+ expense reports submitted weekly via **SAP Concur**
* Justification notes scattered across **Salesforce**, **Slack**, and shared docs
* Policy thresholds vary by **region, department, and role**
* Exceptions logged in outdated Notion pages or spreadsheet trackers
* Audit prep requires **manual review and custom dashboarding** in **PowerBI**

{% hint style="info" %}

#### This results in delays, confusion, policy violations, and compliance risk — every quarter.

## Before & After

| **Before GLIK**                                                            | **After GLIK**                                                          |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A $412 dinner expense from the Singapore team is submitted in SAP          | GLIK detects the region and applies the updated $450 threshold          |
| Policy tracker says $300 is the limit, but APAC leads emailed a new policy | Updated policy is already stored in memory and applied automatically    |
| Reviewer digs through Slack, Salesforce, and Google Docs for justification | GLIK cross-references Salesforce for justification (“Q3 client summit”) |
| Decision takes hours or is approved with uncertainty                       | Flags entry as within policy and logs full audit justification          |
| No clear traceability or audit readiness                                   | Reviewer is notified via Slack with one-click confirmation              |

The result: Consistent, compliant decisions — no manual bottlenecks, no audit guesswork.</p></figcaption></figure>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.glik.ai/enterprise-saas/expense-policy-decision-engine.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
