Supervisor Approval of Expense Reports
If the Approval Routing feature is not enabled, an employee's immediate supervisor must approve an expense report after it is completed. If Approval Routing is enabled and set up, note the following. One or more supervisors or approvers can approve an expense report before it is sent to accounting for approval.
When changes are made in the approval hierarchy for an employee, expense reports not already approved are reset and must start the approval process over. For example, if an employee is assigned a new supervisor, any existing approvals of open expense reports are removed. The report is rerouted through the approval process based on the employee’s new approval hierarchy.
A preference can be set so supervisors and approvers are notified automatically by email when expense reports have been submitted for their approval. For more information, see Notifying a Supervisor or Approver About Required Approvals.
Supervisors or other approvers normally approve expense reports in the Employee Center. For more information, see Approving an Expense Report.
