What Is the Zoho Expense and Zoho People Integration?<\/h2>\n

The integration between Zoho Expense and Zoho People synchronises employee records between the two systems and enables expense reimbursements to be processed alongside HR workflows. When a new employee is added to Zoho People, they can be automatically provisioned in Zoho Expense with the correct policy and approver assignments based on their department and role.<\/p>\n

How the Integration Works<\/h2>\n

Employee details such as name, department, reporting manager, and employment status sync from Zoho People to Zoho Expense. This means there is no need to maintain separate employee lists in both systems. When an employee’s manager changes in Zoho People, the approval routing in Zoho Expense updates automatically, ensuring expense reports are always routed to the current manager.<\/p>\n

Reimbursement via Payroll<\/h2>\n

The integration allows approved expense reimbursements to be included in the monthly payroll run in Zoho Payroll (accessed through Zoho People or directly). Instead of making separate bank transfers for expenses, the finance team can add the reimbursement amount to the salary payment, simplifying cash management and reducing bank transaction fees.<\/p>\n

Does the integration work both ways between Zoho People and Zoho Expense?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The primary data flow is from Zoho People to Zoho Expense for employee data. Expense status and reimbursement data can be referenced within Zoho People for HR reporting purposes, but the two systems maintain their own records rather than a fully bidirectional sync for all data types.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What happens in Zoho Expense when an employee is offboarded in Zoho People?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When an employee is marked as inactive or offboarded in Zoho People, the sync deactivates their Zoho Expense account. Any pending expense reports they submitted remain in the system for approval and reimbursement processing. Admins can access and manage these reports even after the employee’s account is deactivated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
