Submit Report

Submitting Expense Reports in ExpensePoint is quick and easy. Unsubmitted expense reports are marked with a triangle icon next to the user name.

 

Check for Conflicts Before Submitting

Before submitting an Expense Report, ensure that there are no conflicts. Conflicts are indicated by a triangle icon on the expense line within the Expense Reports section. Expense reports with conflicts require your attention and additional input.

Conflicting expenses in the Expenses section will also show the triangle icon, and the status column will display Edit Required to indicate missing or incomplete details.

To edit an expense, double-click the expense row and make the necessary changes. Look for red exclamation marks in a little circle above the fields that require changes.

Notes on the Receipt Checkbox:

  • If the “receipt included” checkbox is selected, the system cannot verify if this is true or not, and it is up to the approver to confirm.

  • If unchecked, the user must provide a reason for not including a receipt.

  • Approvers can quickly check if a receipt is attached or not in the far-right receipt column in the expenses table.

 

Saving Edits

After entering the required details or making changes, click Save. The triangle icon will disappear from the expense row, and the status column will update to a new submission status.

Important Notes:

  • The triangle icon in the Expense Reports section indicates an unsubmitted report and does not necessarily indicate conflicts.

  • Expense Reports that require your attention cannot be submitted until the conflicts are resolved.

After submission, the triangle icon will disappear, and the expense report will be moved to My Recent Work. After more than a day, it can also be found under All My Work.

All submitted reports go through your approver. If there are multiple approvers, then the report will move through the workflow as set by your administrator.
