Approving Expense Reports

Who approves expense reports, how they do it, and what is available today.

【What is available today】

Expense reports use single-approver approval: anyone with the expense approval permission can approve them.

Routing by amount or category, multi-step approval, delegate approval, and automatic escalation are in preparation and cannot be configured.

【Deciding who approves】

  1. 1.Open Admin menu → Role Management.
  2. 2.In the role that handles expenses, tick "Expense Approval" under "Delegated admin functions".
  3. 3.Save. Users with that role can now approve expense reports.

【Approving】

  • Open "Approvals" in the side menu, or "Expense Approvals" in the admin menu, to see what is waiting.
  • Review and approve, or return the request with a reason.
  • Several requests can be approved at once from the list.

【After approval】

Approved expenses can be posted to the journal, grouped into a payment batch, and exported as a payment detail CSV.

【Larger amounts】

Approvers cannot be switched by amount. Cover this with an internal rule, such as consulting a manager before spending above a threshold.
