Asking for an advance
Ask for money before a trip, and settle it against your claims afterwards.
Updated 15 October 2026
What you’ll do: get money in advance for work spending, and settle it later.
Who can do this: every employee asks. Finance approves and pays.
Steps
- In Dexta Spend, open My Advances and click Ask for an advance.
- Enter the Amount and What it’s for, then click Ask. It shows Requested.
- Finance: open Advances. Click Approve or Turn down.
- Finance: once the money is sent, click Pay out. It shows Paid out.
- After the trip, finance uses Use against a claim to set the advance off against your claims, or Returned if you hand the money back. It shows Settled.
Good to know
- If you leave with an advance still open, it’s settled in your final pay.
