Abstract

In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a machine-implemented technique that improves the traditional methods of expense reimbursement processes by allowing an authorized delegate, e.g., administrative assistant, that is acting on behalf of another, e.g., account owner, to add expense items through a device on which the delegate is logged-in to, as opposed to a device on which the account owner is logged-in to, all without requiring the delegate to manage multiple user accounts and in an automated fashion.
