How to see submitted but unapproved expenses?

Problem reported by Ian Cray 10 years ago

At present my staff enter expenses as they come in however once submitted they can no longer see them whilst they are unapproved - they get a permissions error. This means that they cannot tell how far they had got in their data entry process. Enabling them to review expenses allows them to see every ones expenses......

Is there anything within their that can help?

Hi Kevin

The only perms not checked for them is the Review Expenses one but that gives access to everyones expenses......

Thanks for clarifying, handy to know.

Hi Ian,

You need to head to Home > Users, click on the pencil icon for the employee in question and select them from the drop down list for "if an employee please select" field.

Please view the screenshot attached.

This should only allow them to view their own expenses when review expenses permission is set to full.

If you need any further information please don't hesitate to ask.

All the best,

Hi Shaz

His role is currently set as an 'employee' - what impact will changing him to a 'user' have?

Hi Ian,

You can leave the role as employee, but what I was pointing at was ensuring that the employee was selected in the "if an employee please select" field.

Kind Regards,

Hi Shaz

He is already selected in the "if an employee please select field"......... happy to do screen shots but would need to be off this forum.....

Hi Ian,

I viewed your account and I can confirm that he is selected from that list. Therefore, he should only be able to view his own unapproved expense items in the unapproved list. Please can you confirm this from your end?

Thanks,

Shaz

Hi Shaz

Unfortunately not until Thursday - will let you know then. Much appreciate your help todate

Cheers

Hi Ian,

Whilst ensuring that he is selected from that drop down list, you will need to set his permission settings to full for the option to review expanses.

By clicking on the pencil icon to his name, in the home > users page and then clicking on the show all permission options link and ensuring full permission is given for the option to review expenses. Once that has been done, scroll down and click the update user button.
