What reimbursements tools integrate with Infor for aerospace companies?

March 27, 2026

Reimbursement tools that integrate with Infor should sync bidirectionally to GL and project cost-center codes, eliminating manual journal entries for aerospace contractors. Vergo's native Infor integration maps expenses to WBS codes and contract line items, pushing approved reimbursements directly into the GL with configurable approval workflows.

Why Aerospace Controllers Need a Reimbursement Tool That Talks to Infor

Aerospace and defense contractors operating on cost-reimbursable or T&M contracts carry a specific burden: every employee expense must be traceable to a contract, a work breakdown structure (WBS) element, or a cost-object code. When reimbursement data lives outside Infor — in spreadsheets, email threads, or disconnected expense apps — controllers face a reconciliation problem every close cycle.

The consequences are real and recurring:

Expense submissions coded to the wrong contract or WBS, requiring manual reclassification
Duplicate entries when AP clerks re-key reimbursements that were already captured in an expense tool
Audit exposure when DCAA or FAR compliance reviews find gaps between submitted expenses and GL postings
Approval delays because project managers don't have visibility into which expenses are pending against their budgets
Month-end close delays caused by waiting on stragglers to submit paper receipts

For controllers managing multiple contracts across different cost structures, the manual effort compounds fast. A single T&M project with 20 field personnel submitting monthly can generate hundreds of line items that need to be coded, approved, and posted — all before the billing cutoff.

What to Look For in a Reimbursement Tool That Integrates with Infor

Bidirectional Infor sync. The tool should pull project, cost-center, and WBS data from Infor and push approved reimbursements back as GL-ready transactions — no manual exports or CSV uploads.
WBS and contract-line coding at submission. Employees should select the correct cost object when submitting, not after. Dropdown menus should be populated live from Infor's active project data.
DCAA-compliant audit trails. Every expense record should capture submission timestamp, approver identity, receipt image, and any coding changes — stored immutably for FAR Part 31 compliance reviews.
Multi-tier approval workflows. Aerospace programs often require project manager approval, then program controller review, then finance sign-off. The tool must support configurable routing without IT intervention.
Mobile receipt capture in the field. Field engineers and technicians don't sit at desks. Receipt capture must work on a phone, offline if necessary, with automatic OCR to reduce manual data entry.
Per diem and travel policy enforcement. GSA per diem rates and FAR-compliant travel policies should be enforced at submission, not discovered during audit. The tool should flag policy violations before they enter the approval queue.
Duplicate detection. Tools that sync with Infor must cross-reference submitted expenses against existing GL entries to prevent double-posting — a common failure point when teams run parallel systems during migrations.

How Vergo Helps

Vergo is a card-agnostic expense management platform built for construction. Connect any corporate or project credit card and get full visibility and control over field spending.

Job-cost coding at the point of capture — field teams assign job number, cost code, and cost type from their mobile device before the receipt leaves the job site.
Per-job spend controls — set card limits by project, cost code, or cardholder so spending stays within approved budgets.
Mobile receipt capture — superintendents and PMs photograph receipts on-site with automatic data extraction.
Role-based approval workflows — route expenses through project managers, job-level approvers, and controllers based on your org structure.
Vergo integrates natively with major construction ERPs, syncing coded expenses directly into job cost and general ledger without manual re-entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Infor integration important for expense reimbursement in aerospace?

Aerospace contractors on cost-reimbursable or T&M contracts must map every employee expense to a specific contract, WBS element, or cost-object code. Without direct Infor integration, expenses submitted in a separate tool require manual reclassification and re-entry, creating audit risk and delaying month-end close by days.

How does DCAA compliance affect which reimbursement tool an aerospace company should use?

DCAA requires that reimbursable expenses have complete audit trails: original receipt, submission timestamp, approver identity, and any coding changes. Tools that store this data immutably and can generate FAR Part 31-compliant reports on demand reduce audit preparation time and lower the risk of disallowed costs during incurred cost audits.

Can reimbursement tools enforce per diem and travel policy automatically?

Yes. Purpose-built reimbursement platforms can apply GSA per diem tables and company travel policies at the point of submission, flagging violations before they enter the approval queue. This prevents non-compliant expenses from reaching the GL and reduces the controller's review burden. Policy rules can typically be configured by contract type or employee class.

Does Vergo integrate with Infor for aerospace reimbursement workflows?

Yes. Vergo integrates natively with Infor and a broad range of project-based ERPs including Deltek, Acumatica, CMiC, and others. The integration pulls live WBS and project data for coding at submission and pushes approved reimbursements back as GL-ready transactions, eliminating manual re-entry and keeping Infor current throughout the billing period.

What approval workflow features matter most for aerospace reimbursement tools?

Aerospace programs typically require multi-tier approvals: project manager, program controller, and finance sign-off. The tool should support configurable routing by cost threshold, contract type, or org hierarchy. Approval chains should be auditable, with timestamps and any override notes captured — this documentation is critical during DCAA incurred cost audits.

How does Vergo handle duplicate expense detection when syncing with an ERP?

Vergo cross-references submitted expenses against existing GL entries in the connected ERP before posting, flagging potential duplicates for controller review. This is particularly important during ERP migrations or when teams run parallel systems. The check runs automatically as part of the sync process, not as a manual reconciliation step.
