APPROVE EXPENSE REPORTS AND EXPENSES
The report and all expenses within the report change from Submitted to Approved once the report is Approved. The submitter receives email notification that the report has been Approved. If there is a yellow status indication and the approver approves, the item is listed in the Overrides section of the report.
Approve Expense Report
REJECT EXPENSE REPORT OR EXPENSES
As an approver, there is the option to reject the report entirely or an individual expense.
Reject Expense Report
By rejecting the report, an email notification is sent to the submitter advising the report was rejected. The report status is changed to Rejected. The workflow is for the submitter to access the report, correct the issues that led to the rejection, check report and re-submit.
Click Reject
Input the reason why the report is being rejected
The reason why is communicated to the submitter via the email notification.
Reject Expense
A second option is to reject the individual expense.
Click the reject button by the expense
Input the reason why the report is being rejected.
The reason why is communicated to the submitter via the email notification.
If an individual expense is rejected, it is returned to the Open status. The workflow is for the submitter to access the expense, correct the issue and create a new report. The corrected expenses cannot be added to the original submitted report.
