Tips Non-Meal - Policy

[ewheele]

Hi all, 

We have a receipt requirement threshold of $25, but we are running into a situation where we have an expense of golf (business entertainment) and tipping of the caddie is needed, but receipts are not available for over our threshold.   We typically ask that tip is included at the time of golf tee time purchase. How do you handle cash tipping if over your receipt threshold?

@ewheele you could consider creating a Tips expense type. 

Are the tip amounts themselves exceeding the $25 threshold? If not and they are being paid in cash, then a receipt wouldn't be required. Again, this would be predicated on having a Tips expense type. Also, you could use the expense type of Other or Miscellaneous or whatever the expense type you have in your system similar to this. 

If the cash tips are exceeding $25, then you could consider turning on the Missing Receipt Declaration, which is used for scenarios such as the one you mentioned.
