Overview of Expense Assistant

The Oracle Expense Assistant is a skill within the Oracle Fusion Applications Digital Assistant that lets you create and manage your expenses using a conversational experience.

It uses conversational channels such as native SMS, Slack, or Microsoft Teams on your mobile device to guide you through common expense tasks. As you interact with the assistant, it directly communicates with the Oracle Expenses web application to perform the tasks.

Here are the different expense tasks that you can perform using the Expense Assistant:

• Creating an expense and submitting it for manager approval

• Modifying an expense

• Checking the status of expense reports

You can also capture the number of attendees in the meals and entertainment expenses that exceed the limit specified by the company policy. Auditors can view the cost per attendee when auditing the expense.

You can sign into the Expenses web application to review the results of tasks that you performed with the help of the Expense Assistant, or to perform interactions that are more detailed.
