6. Manager (Spending) Approval Process:

The Manager (Spending) Approval process routes expense reports to managers for approval. A managers ability to approve a report depends on the managers signing limit. If the total report amount is greater than the managers signing limit, Workflow forwards the report to the next person in the management hierarchy that has proper signing authority. When an expense report receives approval, the workflow transitions to the AP Approval process.

Rejection Process:

When a manager rejects an expense report, the Rejection process begins. The Rejection process notifies the employee that the report has been rejected, with or without a reason. The employee can optionally modify and resubmit the report for approval using the Modify Expense Reports function

10. Converting Expense Reports into Invoices

Oracle Payables pays invoices only, so before an approved expense report can be paid, it must be converted into an invoice. The Oracle Expense Report Import converts expense reports created in Internet Expenses into invoices in Oracle Payables. An expense report can be processed by the Expense Report Import program only if it receives approval from both the approval manager and the HR/Accounts Payable department during the Expense Report workflow process. After running the Expense Report Import program, Payables prints the Invoice Import Exceptions Report. This report lists all expense reports that could not be imported, with the exception (rejection) reason. When a report is rejected by the Expense Report Import program, you must correct all problems in the expense report and then resubmit Expense Report Import to create an invoice.
