1. A system for performing expense functions, comprising:
- a mobile expense application on a mobile device, the mobile expense application operable to create and process expense items on the mobile device;
a storage device on the mobile device to store the expense items created on the mobile device; and
wherein the mobile expense application interfaces with a remote server comprising an enterprise expense application, such that the expense items created on the mobile device are uploaded for processing at the enterprise server application; and
wherein the mobile device receives reference data from the remote server for generating the expense item by the mobile expense application in accordance with formats and policies of the enterprise expense application running on the server.

Abstract
An improved approach is described for implementing mobile devices for an expense solutions architecture. Mobile devices are integrated into an expense solutions architecture so that expense-related data can be captured, created, entered, and/or edited on the mobile device. This permits the user to generate expense line entries more in alignment with the location/way that many expense are actually generated, e.g., while the user is away from the office computer.
