Managing Advances

Let’s take a look at how you can manage your advances.

Remove Advance from Your Report

If you’ve applied a wrong or an irrelevant advance to a report, you can remove that advance from the report. However, you cannot remove advances from reports that are in Awaiting Approval, approved , or reimbursed statuses.

Remove Advance from Your Trip

You cannot remove advances from your trip requests. However, you can delete the advances associated to your trip requests. Once you delete the advances, you cannot retrieve them. If approval is enabled for the advances in your organisation, you will not be able to delete approved advances.
