An approver is someone that is set up to approve someone else's expense reports. Approvers have an additional menu item on the Dashboard called Expense Approval. If you are set up as an approver use this menu to view the reports in your approval bin.


The drop-down arrow next to the Expense Approval will have three different options:

  • My queue: Expense reports waiting for approval.
  • My rejections: Expense reports that you have rejected.
