Abstract
A management component in a computer system provides user input mechanisms that allow a user to capture items and reconcile them to a report in the computer system. The items in a given report can be separately viewed and edited.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of capturing an expense item, comprising:
- displaying, on a mobile device, an expense capture user interface display with a detail user input mechanism that receives expense details;
- receiving user actuation of the detail user input mechanism to obtain the expense details through the detail user input mechanism;
- and
- generating a visual representation of the expense item from the expense details.

A computer system, comprising:
- an expense management component that includes a capture component, the capture component displaying, on a display device, an expense capture user interface display with a detail user input mechanism that receives user actuation of the detail user input mechanism to obtain the expense details through the detail user input mechanism;
- a view component that generates a user actuatable, visual representation of the expense item from the expense details;
- and
- a computer processor that is a functional part of the system and activated by the expense management component and the view component to facilitate displaying the expense capture user interface display, receiving user actuation and generating the visual representation.

A computer readable storage medium that stores computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:
- displaying, on a mobile device, an expense capture user interface display with a detail user input mechanism that receives expense details, the detail user input mechanism including a user actuatable summary display that displays summary information corresponding to an expense item, wherein user actuation of the summary display causes expense details to be displayed;
- receiving user actuation of the detail user input mechanism to obtain the expense details through the detail user input mechanism;
- and
- generating a visual representation of the expense item from the expense details.
