Receipt approvals

Overview

Receipt approvals can be turned on or off for each account user.

If a user has receipt approvals turned on, any receipts they submit will appear in the receipt inbox with a yellow label stating Pending Approval.

While a receipt is pending approval, it cannot be exported, archived or added to an expense report.
