Who can advance an expense

The user who can take an expense to the next stage depends on whether the expense belongs to a project:

Where reports are reviewed

Reviewers work through reports from the Expense Reports tab of the Inbox, which is split into one sub-tab per stage: Unchecked, Pending Approval, and Unpaid. See approve expense reports for how to action a report from each stage.

Submitting a report notifies the person who has to review it. See expense report submitted for who that is.
