Review a request
Before making a decision, check:
- the transaction information and expense owner;
- vendor, date, category, and payment method;
- items, amounts, tax, and total;
- attachments;
- approval progress and history;
- any possible duplicate indicator.
If a duplicate review is unresolved, complete that review first. Approval actions may remain unavailable until the duplicate status is resolved.
Approve a request
- Make sure the information and transaction evidence are appropriate.
- Select Approve.
- Add a reason or note if needed.
- Confirm the decision.
The request moves to the next approver or is completed if you are on the final step.
Reject a request
- Select Reject.
- Enter a rejection reason. This is required so the expense owner knows what action is needed.
- Confirm the decision.
Understand progress
- Waiting: cannot be processed until an earlier step is completed.
- Pending: waiting for an approver's decision.
- Approved: the step has been approved.
- Rejected: the request was rejected.
- Skipped: the step was skipped according to the applicable rule.
Make decisions from your own account so the approval history remains clear.
