Submit an expense report
Submits a draft or recalled expense report (with at least one expense) for approval, optionally to a chosen approver and copying others by email.
Approve an expense report
Approves a submitted expense report the signed-in person may approve; it becomes approved and the submitter is told.
Reject an expense report
Rejects a submitted expense report the signed-in person may approve, with an optional reason; it goes back to the submitter to fix and resubmit.
A person can approve first
