1. A computer-implemented method for performing expense item entry on a mobile device, comprising:
- generating an expense entry on a mobile device;
importing data from a calendar entry pertaining to the expense entry to populate at least a portion of required fields for the expense entry;
auto-populating additional data for the expense entry from a processing mechanism on the mobile device; and
sending the expense entry to a remote server comprising an enterprise expense application, such that the expense entry created on the mobile device is uploaded for processing at the enterprise server application, wherein the mobile device receives reference data generated by the remote server to allow the mobile device to process the expense entry in accordance with the enterprise expense application.

Abstract
An improved approach is described for implementing an expense solution that includes calendar entry methods and systems. 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.
