Our XML SEPA export allows Spendesk customers to reimburse multiple employees or requests at once.
Reimbursing several expenses at once
With our XML SEPA feature, you can easily prepare multiple expense reimbursements at once, for several employees.
Simply download the XML SEPA file from Spendesk, import it on your bank's website, and the bank should be able to proceed to reimburse your employees on your behalf:
head over to Expense Claims > Schedule reimbursements.
Choose the employees and expenses to reimburse.
Click on Download & Pay - XML SEPA.
You can edit the date at which to reimburse the expense if needed.
You should be able to upload the XML SEPA file on your bank's website. If not, you can continue using the .csv option!
After marking them as paid, your expenses move automatically to the Payments tab. From there, you can easily bookkeep them like the rest of your Spendesk payments. It usually takes a few days for the amount to be reimbursed to employees once the XML SEPA file has been shared with your bank.
👉 The reimbursement is shown under the following label on your account "ID from Spendesk + employee's name and surname".
🚨 Make sure that your employees fill in their bank details on their Avatar > Profile to be able to use this feature.
What happens if the recipient's bank account is closed?
There are several possibilities - either the bank of the closed account will have to be asked to transfer the funds received (if they do not do so automatically), or the funds will be rejected.
☝️You can always find previously reimbursed expenses under Expense Claims > History.
☝️ If you are based in the European Union and haven't started using our XML SEPA export, let us know and our team will be happy to activate this on your account.
