# Generating Draft Transactions
 

	
 
As a manager at a nonprofit, I need the ability to have staff propose draft
 
transactions that are not added to the books official until approved.
 

	
 
As a bookkeeper, I'd like the ability to set up and review draft transactions
 
before officially adding them to the books, so I can see if they were entered
 
correctly.
 

	
 
It should be possible to view any [[reports|GeneratingReports]] or other
 
system information as if the draft transactions have been applied, via some
 
configurable option.

    considering the fact that the person reimbursed may seek reimbursement in
 
    a different currency than the native currency of the organization's.
 
  * Track approvals of the expenses by multiple parties.  (For example,

    fiduciary duty to the organization itself).
 
  * Ideally, the system would auto-detect any places where a travel and/or
 
    reimbursement policy for the organization is violated (or mandates
 
    additional approvals).

## Reimbursement: The Traveler's View
 

	
 
From traveler's/reimbursement-requester's view, they'll need:
 

	
 
  * An easy, outward-facing web interface for submitting receipts.
 
  * Ideally, flagging them when additional approval is needed before
 
    submitting their expense report, so that they can seek additional
 
    approval before submitting.
 
  * Updates on the external web interface system about status when the
 
    expense is moving through the internal system at the organization. 
 
  * Automatic calculation of any per-diem allowances.
