Travel & expense
Trips, advances and claims that settle
Travel requests with approval, advances against them, expense reports with policy checks, and corporate-card reconciliation.
Not available in the Desktop Suite.
What Travel & Expense does
Policy at submission
Category limits and rules are checked when the claim is made, not after it has been approved.
Advances that settle
An advance is issued against a trip and settled against its claims, so the outstanding is a real number.
Corporate cards
Card statements reconciled against claimed expenses to find what was spent but never claimed.
Who uses it, and for what

Questions
Does reimbursement go through payroll?+
No. Reimbursement settles through the normal payment path. LekhaPro does not include payroll.
Which edition includes Travel & Expense?+
Travel & Expense is in the Cloud Suite only. It is not part of the Desktop Suite, and we mark that plainly on every card and page rather than leaving it to be discovered after purchase. If Travel & Expense is why you are here, the Cloud Suite is the edition to choose.
What does Travel & Expense actually include?+
Travel requests, advances, expense reports, corporate cards. In practice that means policy at submission, advances that settle and corporate cards — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.
Does Travel & Expense work with the rest of LekhaPro, or is it separate?+
It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Travel & Expense reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.
What else comes with Travel & Expense?+
Travel & Expense sits in the Operations group of the catalogue, alongside Inventory, Purchase & Procurement and POS / Counter. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.
Does Travel & Expense work offline?+
Travel & Expense is a Cloud Suite application, so it needs a connection — it runs in the browser against your tenant rather than a local file. If working with the internet off is a hard requirement for your business, the Desktop edition is the one to look at, and it does not include Travel & Expense.
Is there AI in Travel & Expense?+
Not as a feature of this application, and we would rather say so than claim it. The AI surfaces in LekhaPro — Copilot, the CFO, the deterministic insight engines — read the data Travel & Expense produces, so its records inform them, but Travel & Expense itself is deliberately a plain, fast, keyboard-first application.
Which businesses is Travel & Expense for?+
Any business running LekhaPro. Travel & Expense is part of the horizontal suite rather than a trade-specific pack, so it behaves the same whether you are a retailer, a distributor, a manufacturer or a services firm — the industry packs change the screens around it, not the application itself.
Can I control who sees Travel & Expense?+
Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Travel & Expense without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.
Can I try Travel & Expense before committing?+
Yes — 14 days, no card. The honest way to evaluate Travel & Expense is with your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data, because the questions that matter are about your business's edge cases, not ours. Nothing is deleted if you decide against it.
