Approver

As an approver, your role involves reviewing and deciding on expense, mileage and per diem submissions from assigned users.

This includes receiving submitted expenses, evaluating them, and either rejecting or approving them for further processing by the bookkeeping department.

This task is performed in the web portal, which provides a convenient overview of all expenses, mileage, expense reports and per diems waiting for approval.

Web portal can be opened on the computer or any smart device (phone / tablet).

Rejection

If the approver rejects an expense or mileage, the approver is required to leave a reason for the rejection, such that the person receiving the rejection may change the issues in question.

Approve or Reject an Expense report

To reject some expenses within the Expense Report, select Reject, then uncheck the box 'Reject entire report', which then opens the possibility to select individual expenses to reject.

In the bottom-right corner, there is a checkbox 'Mark others as checked'. Which this checkbox ticked, once the rejected expense is resubmitted, the approver doesn't need to review again previously reviewed expenses.

Hide or show details

The approver has the ability to hide or display details in the overview, which can be helpful during the approval process.
