Issuing a custody and recording an expense

Management issues the custody; the expense is recorded with its receipt where it happens.

Accountant: issue a new custody

  1. Open “Custodies” from the staff portal’s top menu. Cards: balance in open custodies, invoices awaiting review and open custodies.

  3. Save; the custody appears in the table with its number, received, approved, pending, remaining and % used.

Employee: record an expense from the phone

  1. In the employee portal → “My custody” → “Add expense invoice”.

  2. Type the “Invoice amount including VAT”.

  3. “Photograph the invoice” opens the rear camera directly, or “Choose from files” (image or PDF).

  4. Pick the “Invoice date” and “Category” (fuel, office supplies…) and type the “Shop / supplier”. VAT and invoice number are optional.

  5. Press “Save and deduct from custody”. “Remaining in custody” shows at the top.

Tip Photograph the receipt right after spending: it protects the employee and speeds up review. When the balance reaches the alert limit, an alert is sent automatically.
Note Recorded invoices stay “pending” until the accountant reviews them — see مراجعة فواتير العهدة وتصفيتها وكشف التصفية. For people who don’t use the staff portal there is the standalone MEGA Custody app.
