Approve: All receipts and expenses are legitimate.  The approver clicks the approved button.

 

Reject: Missing receipts, expenses are not legitimate, university doesn't cover an expense.  The approver will reject the expense report and ask the user to resubmit with all the appropriate attachments or without an expense.

 

Reassign: The approver will be away from the office and cannot approve the expense report or the approver would like a one-up approval to review and approve the expense report.  The expense report was sent to the wrong approver.

 

Request Information: The receipts attached are not sufficient enough and the approver would like more information on an expense.

 

Before the approver takes the necessary action they will click on the Attachments to review the receipts back-up and make sure that all expenses are attached for this report.
