The Expense Module in DaaI Business Suite helps businesses record, track, and manage all types of expenses in a single place with proper GST & TDS compliance. Whether it’s vendor payments, employee reimbursements, bank charges, salaries, or utility bills, all expenses stay organized, traceable, and audit-ready.

⭐ Important:

• Always tick Reimbursement if the expense belongs to an employee → system will auto-create a linked record in Reimbursement Module.
• Expense Number is generated automatically, financial year–wise.
• If Is TDS = True → a TDS challan is auto-generated → review carefully in TDS Module before filing.
• Uploaded documents must be clear & valid (PDF, JPG, PNG).
• When an Expense or Reimbursement is paid via Cash, the system will automatically:
  • Create a new Petty Cash Expense record.
  • Deduct the payable amount from the Petty Cash Balance.
• If the Expense/Reimbursement payment is edited later, the Petty Cash record will not auto-update (to avoid confusion).
• Petty Cash Balance updates in real-time only when Credit records are edited directly in the Petty Cash Module.

✅ Why use it?

• Automates GST & TDS compliance.
• Simplifies reimbursements and vendor payments.
• Generates expense reports for audits and financial analysis.
• Provides clear visibility for Admin, Managers, and Employees based on access rights.
