PeopleSoft Expenses ignores expense lines with a status of closed or denied and ignores expenses that are not reimbursable.

You must select the Total Expense Costs OTA on the Personalize Operational Threshold Alerts page before PeopleSoft Expenses displays the information on the pagelet. View OTAs on the Operational Threshold Alert pagelet with data personalized by an administrator or user.
