Process variants in credit card clearing

Process variants in credit card clearing are as follows
Process variant 1: Settlement of credit card charges reimbursed via employee's private bank account
We can apply this process variant when employees use a personal corporate credit cards with employee liability. Then he/she receives the credit card bill for their own travel expenses and pays bill to credit card bank using his/her own personal bank account and then company reimburse the approved travel expenses to the employee.
Example: An employee spent 425 USD for air fare (for official travel expense) and also 125 USD for private expense using personal corporate credit card.
 The employee will delete the private expenses   from the credit card receipt while assigning the credit card expenses to trip. The employee then pays the total expenses 550 USD to the credit card company.
