Create, submit and review an expense

Follow an edited Company example: create and edit a worker’s expense draft, then see its submitted state and an authorized Manager’s approval. The mobile edit cuts from the draft to the saved Submitted state. No receipt is attached in this example. Expense approval does not record or send payment.

Steps you can read

  1. Enter the expense

    In your Company, open Work, then Expenses. Enter the date incurred, amount, currency, merchant, category and business purpose.

  2. Save a draft

    If needed, attach a supported receipt. Receipts are optional in this form; this example attaches none. Choose Save draft.

  3. Correct the draft

    Open View expense. While it remains a draft, you can correct its details and choose Save draft again. This example clarifies the business purpose.

  4. Submit for review

    When the details are ready, choose Submit for review. The expense becomes Submitted and its submitted details are locked while it awaits an authorized reviewer.

  5. Review the submitted evidence

    As an authorized Manager, open the submitted expense in your review work. Check the amount, date, category, purpose and any receipt evidence.

  6. Record and check the decision

    Choose Approve or Decline as appropriate. This example chooses Approve, adds a reason and selects Record decision. Confirm the recorded decision. Expense approval does not itself record a payment.

  1. 0:00–0:04

    Record the date, amount, merchant and business purpose.

  2. 0:04–0:07

    Save a draft before sending it for review.

  3. 0:07–0:12

    Edit the business purpose while the expense is still a draft.

  4. 0:12–0:15

    When it’s ready, submit the expense for review.

  5. 0:15–0:18

    The expense is submitted for review.

  6. 0:18–0:22

    Manager: review the submitted amount and evidence.

  7. 0:22–0:28

    Choose Approve and record your decision.

  8. 0:28–0:31

    Approved expenses still need separate payment.

Review the submitted evidence

Open the expense from Attention or Expense reviews. Check the Contractor, amount, currency, date, description, receipt, and exact submitted version.

Record the decision

Choose the available approve or reject action and add the reason requested by the flow. The decision stays connected to the submitted expense version.

Financial consequence

Approval creates supported expense evidence for later amount review. It does not by itself send reimbursement or mark the Contractor Paid.
