Emburse Assurance: Excessive Tip Alert
Deployment Schedule: Available to all customers using Emburse Assurance on May 29, 2026.
As part of Emburse Assurance, organizations can now enable the Excessive Tip rule to identify high risk spend with tip amounts that exceed organization-defined limits.
The rule detects handwritten tip amounts on receipts and calculates the tip percentage based on the post-tax subtotal. When the calculated percentage exceeds the configured threshold, the receipt is flagged for approvers, auditors, and finance teams.
Organizations using Emburse Assurance can enable the new rule by going to Configuration and selecting Emburse Assurance Audit Rules. Define a Maximum Tip Percentage before enabling the rule. You can also configure exceptions by employee, department, or category.
To learn more about Emburse Assurance and enable it for your organization, contact your Account Representative.

Emburse Assurance: Alcohol Spend Thresholds
Deployment Schedule: Available to all customers using Emburse Assurance on May 29, 2026.
As part of Emburse Assurance, organizations can now configure a threshold for alcohol spending. Emburse Assurance uses the threshold to determine whether a receipt should be flagged for further review.
Emburse Assurance scans receipts for alcohol purchases and calculates the portion of the receipt attributed to alcohol spending. When that percentage exceeds the threshold configured by your organization, the receipt is flagged for approvers, auditors, and finance teams.
Organizations using Emburse Assurance can enable the new rule by going to Configuration and selecting Emburse Assurance Audit Rules. Define an Alcohol Spend Threshold. You can also configure exceptions by employee, department, or category.
The Alcohol Purchase rule can also be configured to flag expenses before submission. This gives employees an opportunity to provide additional explanation or remove the receipt before review.
To learn more about Emburse Assurance and enable it for your organization, contact your Account Representative.
