Submitting Reports

Resolve Policy Violations in a Report

If your report or the expenses in the report have violated your organisation’s policies, the violations will be highlighted in the report. You can resolve the violations and submit the report. There are two types of policy violations:

• Warning Violations
  This type of violation warns you regarding the policy violations you’ve made in your report. You can either resolve the violation or submit the report and leave it to the approver to approve or reject the report.
• Blocking Violations
  This violation blocks you from submitting the report. You have to resolve the blocking violations to submit the report.

To resolve the violations:

1. Go to Reports on the left sidebar.
2. Click the report with policy violations.
3. Click View to view details about the violation.
4. Click Update to edit your expense or your report as per your company’s policy and resolve the violations.

Once you’ve created a report, you can add expenses to it.

4. To add a new expense, click + New Expense or click the Add Unreported Expenses dropdown and select New Expense to create a new expense for the report.
