Adding or Editing Receipts

You can add or edit receipts to an open or rejected expense report at any time before you submit it for approval.

Note:

Depending on your company's OpenAir account configuration, a specific expenses policy may be defined for each project to enforce any restrictions and limits on the expenses you can claim.

  • If the project expenses policy only allows specific expense items, you can only select from these options when adding or editing a receipt for this project.

  • If there is a maximum cost or a fixed rate enforced for a specific expense item, the cost you enter will be changed to respect the expenses policy.

Tap the Policy tab to view the details of the relevant project expenses policy.
