When it comes to managing per diem expenses in Continia Expense Management, one of the essential steps is to import them into your system effectively. Per diem expenses are imported when synchronization with Continia Online is performed. Continia Online is a cloud solution that connects the Continia Expense App and the Continia Expense Portal to the Business Central client, and data can be synchronized across these three applications.

Synchronizations can be carried out manually or be scheduled to run automatically in job queues; see the How to set up Expense Management Job Queues article.

Using the Continia Expense App

Expense users can submit per diem expenses using the Continia Expense App. These per diem expenses are then transferred through Continia Online, with the next synchronization, to Business Central. Typically, the Continia Expense App is set to automatically synchronize with Continia Online using job queues.

The Receipts list

In the Continia Expense App, you'll find the Receipts List, which is a list of your saved receipt images. Using this list, you can create and submit expenses in a number of ways. You can find more details on this in the Receipts List article.

Using the Continia Expense Portal

Expense users can also submit per diem expenses using the Continia Expense Portal. These per diem expenses are then transferred through Continia Online, with the next synchronization, to Business Central. Typically, the Continia Expense Portal is set to automatically synchronize with Continia Online using job queues.

Using the Business Central client

Per diem expenses can also be created in the Business Central client. You can use the setting Limit Document Visibility on the Continia User Setup Card when you want to limit document visibility for a certain user to that user's own documents.

Via email

You may also create per diem expenses by forwarding an email with attached receipts to Continia Online. You will then receive an email with a request for more details. At the same time, the documents will become visible in the Continia Expense App and the Continia Expense Portal.

You can use these email addresses for each of the applications:
