# Expense Approval Routing Check

## Inputs
Current company expense policy, dated receipts, expense purpose, entity, currency, claimant, approval matrix and reviewer limits.

## Workflow
1. Identify the applicable policy version, entity and approval matrix. If missing, stop routing rather than infer a generic spending limit.
2. Match each amount and currency to the receipt. Flag duplicate receipts, missing purpose and amounts above the named approver limit.
3. Map required review steps from the policy. Keep current-approver status separate from the whole packet status when multiple approvers are required.
4. Return a review packet and unresolved questions. Do not approve, reimburse, change company policy or email an employee.

## Output contract
expense | amount/currency | receipt | policy clause | exception | required approver | evidence | status

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional policy requires Manager review through $500 and Finance review above $500. Expense A is $450 with receipt and purpose; B is $650 with receipt but no Finance approval; C is $75 without receipt. Route A to Manager, B to Finance and C to missing-evidence review. None is paid or approved by this skill.

## Review gates
Verify $450 and $650 fall on the correct side of the supplied $500 limit. Remove the policy to test that all routes become unknown. No universal company threshold is assumed.
