Expenses

Create and submit expenses claims. Individual expenses items are grouped together into a report. Automated budget codes makes the process simple.

  • An introduction to Expenses in Horizon

    To access the Horizon (HR) system, click on the Horizon link in the main menu of the Portal

    • Log in, using your university credentials and multi-factor-authentication if prompted to do so
    • Under the Apps section, click on the Expenses tile
    • To request reimbursement for work-related expenses you must enter and submit an expense report
    • A report is the overall description for a group of expenses incurred for a specific event.
    • For example, a report might be a monthly trip to a meeting on different campus, a visit to another University for a demonstration or even a trip abroad for a conference
    • Each of these events will have different expenses, such as car mileage, public transport or accommodation
    • Each expense is then entered, using a custom form and electronic copies of appropriate receipts, and associated to the relevant report.
    • When complete, the report is submitted.
    • Once submitted, but prior to it being approved, a report may also be withdrawn and amended.
    • Once saved, a report can also be duplicated. This could be handy in the case on recurring events (such as a monthly meeting on another campus, where the mode of travel is the same)
    • Duplicated reports will replicate all associated expenses but will not replicate any attached receipts (such as parking permits or train tickets) as these will need to be uploaded for each specific occasion
