Locating Staff Expense Reports

As an approver of expense reports, you can find the expense reports awaiting approval by clicking the Staff Reports tab at the top of the Expense screen next to the My Reports tab.  (The Staff Reports tab appears for approvers and payers only.) 

Tip: Notifications appear at the top of the Expense page about expense reports that are awaiting your approval – you can click the notification's Approve reports link to find expense reports awaiting your approval under the Staff Reports tab.

The Staff Reports tab shows the Reports Pending Your Approval list. This list includes the date the report was submitted, the report number, who submitted the report, whether the report is in policy or not, and the total amount of the report.

Tip: You can find other staff reports by clicking the drop-down menu next to the "Reports Pending Your Approval" heading to choose one of the following:

• Unsubmitted Reports
• Reports Pending Your Approval
• Approved – Pending Payment Reports
• Denied Reports
• Finalized Reports
• All Staff Reports

To search for specific expense reports based on a criteria under the Staff Reports tab, click the Filter button to set your search criteria, and then click the Filter button within the filter section to search for results. For example:

You can also export the result of a filtered search as a “.csv” (comma-separated values) file that can be opened by most spreadsheet and database programs. Click the Export button in the top right corner of the Staff Reports view.
