Approving Reports - Manager Guide

Reviewing employees' reports and approving or rejecting expenses is a key responsibility for managers. To grasp the process better, let's break it down step by step.

  1. Email Notification for approvers: 

Approvers receive an email notification once a report is submitted for approval. In contrast, accountants receive an email notification when a report is sent to accounting.

If there are multiple accountants for a specific account, no notification email is sent to any of the accountants.

 

Approvers can also receive reminder emails every three days to inform them that reports are pending approval.

The account administrator can enable this option from the Administration tab --> Global Settings --> Approval

 

Once the email is sent to the approvers, the next step is:

  1. Expense approval: 

For this, three alternatives are possible: 

  • Approval on Web:

In order to get to know the steps required to accomplish this task, please refer to this article. 

  • Approval on Mobile:

The approval process is also possible on the mobile app. You can find all the details in the same article. 

  • Approval on Teams App:

The Expensya application on Teams empowers users to add, review, and submit their professional expenses. Additionally, it provides managers with the capability to review their employees' reports and either approve or reject their expenses.

An article describing the different features offered by the Expensya application on Teams, particularly the approval process can be found on this link
 Rejected expenses and notes are always sent back to the owner.
  1. Exception Requests:  

In certain situations, employees may submit specific requests, known as exception requests, for their approvers to review. These requests involve seeking reimbursement for the full amount of an expense or an amount exceeding a ceiling set by the company.

Get to know the exception requests through this article. 

 

In the case where the employee has more than one approver, the expense is only forwarded to accounting after being approved by all approvers. Hence, the accountant can only view the expense in the "Accounting" tab after approval by all approvers.
