It is where all the incurred payments are recorded during his/her business trip, both using cash and credit card and including miscellaneous expenses.

Expense vouchers aren't like other business vouchers that are used for marketing and promotional purposes. Hence, there's absolutely no need to make it artistic. It should just have a simple and professional appearance.
3. Provide Enough Space For Traveler's Info
Provide ample space on the voucher since some individuals have long names. It would be quite inconvenient for travelers with long names to write their complete names within a limited provided space. The same practice must also be observed when providing space for the contact number, mailing address, email address, office address, ID number, and purpose of travel in the voucher ticket.
4. Don't Forget the Terms and Conditions
The terms and conditions of an expense voucher must always be stated clearly. It's best to encode it in front of your expense voucher so that it'll be noticed immediately. The terms and conditions must clearly state what's in it for the traveler should he/she affix his/her signature on the printable voucher, and also the rules and procedures he/she must follow.
5. Provide a Spacious Table for Traveler's Expenses
This is where the traveler will convey in detail all the payments he/she incurred during his/her business trip. Make the table spacious enough. The table must include columns for dates, descriptions, transportation expenses, meal expenses, accommodation expenses, and the total amount. Below the table, on the lower right corner, is the section where you write down the total amount of all expenses.
