Submitting and Approving Expense Claims

    

Topic: Expenses/Timesheets > Working with Expense Claims

For larger companies it is often the case that Expense Claims need to be submitted for approval before being paid. For this reason a simple approval mechanism is provided.

 

The Role associated with a Worker has a section under the Permissions Tab called Approval Permissions determines if the Worker can approve submitted Expense Claims (below).

IMPORTANT: Expense Claims are only committed to the accounts when they have been approved.

 

NOTE: If you are authorized to approve Expense Claims then your Expense Claims are automatically approved when saved.

 

When a Expense Claim is saved (either from New or Edit state) the associated Approval Status can be set. In the example below the Expense Claim will be 'Submitted' for approval when the Document is saved.
