Feature map

One operating model, four clear feature areas.

Each feature area can be explained independently, but together they form a single controlled employee-spend process for card transactions, reimbursements, cash advances, approvals, review, reporting, and SAP handoff.

Cash Exposure

Know what is still open before it becomes final accounting.

Cash exposure shows the finance team what is currently sitting with employees, cards, departments, and approvers. When a corporate card transaction first appears, Serafinox can keep it visible as an open employee item until the receipt, business reason, category, and approval path are completed.

This helps finance identify exposure before posting: missing receipts, unapproved card spend, cash advances waiting for settlement, manually entered employee claims, and items that may need deduction, reversal, write-off, or HR-linked handling.

Open item claritySee expenses that are captured but not yet approved or posted.
Employee accountabilityTrack what each employee still needs to justify, submit, or correct.
Policy actionSupport deduction, rejection, reversal, or write-off based on company policy.
Cash advance visibilityMonitor advances and settlement entries through the approval workflow.
Cash exposure control dashboard A stylized finance dashboard showing open items, pending receipts, and exposure routing. Open Receipt Risk

User Story

Explain the product as real journeys, not only as screens.

The user story starts when an employee swipes a card, pays from personal funds, or uses a cash advance for business spending. Serafinox guides the employee to add the receipt, select the right category, enter business context, and submit the expense into the approval workflow.

The same story continues for managers, shared service reviewers, finance controllers, auditors, and leadership analytics. Everyone sees the same transaction from their role-specific perspective.

EmployeeReceives or creates the expense, attaches proof, and submits it.
ManagerApproves, rejects, or asks for correction with policy context.
FinanceChecks accounting fields, exceptions, duplicate risk, and posting readiness.
LeadershipReviews trends, exposure, aging, categories, and departments.

Audit story

Auditors can follow the transaction history: card feed, employee action, receipt, approval, finance review, exception notes, and final SAP-aligned outcome. The story is built around evidence and traceability.

Travel story

For travel, employees can explain flights, hotels, meals, taxis, and trip-related spending. Managers review the business purpose, while finance checks limits, tax fields, receipts, and project or cost-center coding.

Analytics story

Analytics can explain spend by employee, department, cost center, project, merchant, policy exception, approval status, and aging. This turns operational activity into leadership-ready visibility.

Shared Service

Give central finance teams a cleaner way to manage high-volume spend review.

Shared service teams need queue discipline. Serafinox can help them separate missing receipts, pending approvals, policy exceptions, duplicate-risk items, reimbursement cases, cash journal entries, and approved items waiting for SAP-aligned processing.

The value is operational control: reviewers can focus on what needs action, managers can be reminded where decisions are pending, and finance can keep an audit-ready history without manually chasing every employee.

Review queuesGroup items by status, exception, employee, department, or reviewer.
SLA visibilityHighlight aging transactions and delayed approvals before month-end pressure.
Exception handlingManage missing receipts, duplicate signals, policy breaches, and correction requests.
Consistent processingStandardize validation rules across card spends, claims, and cash advance settlements.

Integration

Connect card, employee, approval, cash journal, and SAP processes.

Integration is where Serafinox becomes more than a form. Card transactions from Mastercard, Visa, Amex, or bank-issued card programs can flow into the employee spend workflow. Employee-paid expenses and cash journal entries can follow similar approval and validation logic.

After approval, data can be prepared for SAP-aligned posting and reporting. Organizations can use standard SAP structures such as cost centers, WBS or project references, budgets, controlling, and governance reports on approved postings.

Card feed intakeBring corporate-card and procurement-card transaction details into the workflow.
Approval workflowRoute each item through employee, manager, finance, or shared service review.
HR and policy handlingSupport unapproved expense handling with SAP PA or other HR-linked processes.
SAP-ready outputPrepare approved entries for downstream finance posting, reporting, and governance.
