OCR Improvements to Capture Hotel Check-In and Check-Out Dates

We have made targeted improvements to our OCR engine, Emburse Receipt Transcription, to deliver greater accuracy for hotel receipts. The engine now automatically detects the Check-In and Check-Out dates with higher precision and enters them directly into the corresponding expense fields.

This update saves time for travelers and approvers by reducing manual entry and minimizing errors in expense reports. It is enabled for all customers by default and requires no configuration.

This enhancement is enabled for all customers by default, and no additional configuration is required. End users can expect significantly higher accuracy of the Check In Date and Check Out Date fields, saving them time when submitting expenses and avoiding manual entry or error.

ADMIN

Improvements to the Manage Users Administrative Page

The Manage Users page has been improved to give Administrators more information at their fingertips for easier user management. We have added a credit card icon next to any user who has a credit card assigned to their profile.

Hovering over the card icon will tell the administrator the last four digits of the card and the card program to which it belongs.

Administrators who wish to export this data may do so by opening the menu in the far right-hand column and selecting Download Data, which will export an XLSX file of the queried users. A column is included on the report to denote if a user does or does not have a card on file.
