Overview
The responsibility of a Reports To Supervisor in reviewing an expense report is to verify policy compliance and the transaction funding source. If changes are needed, the expense report must be sent back to the initiator for edits. The Sendback function should be your primary tool when a pending Expense Report has errors that requires correction, additional information or documentation. The sendback function allows the employee to re-submit the expense report back into workflow for processing after any necessary corrections have been made.
In this article, we will discuss utilizing the Sendback function when reviewing an Expense Report for an employee within UGA Financials.
