Employee/Staff setup
Staff that will be using the expense claim function need to be setup as Users (Staff) on your Portal account with access to your book (see Adding users) and added as employees to your Book (see Adding employees) with the appropriate Role (see Adding Roles).
If your staff are already added as employees, you need still need to set them up as Portal users then link their Username to their employee contact.

Approval process
The Approval process is available on the medium level of the Employee expenses module. You can toggle between Enabled and Disabled from Employee expense settings.
Enabling the Approval process provides you with more control over the expense claims created by your employee. The employee needs to submit the expense claim for the manager (user with expense claims Approve & Manage permission) to review before it gets approve to be reimburse. As the manager, you can also decline an expense claim and provide a reason (if appliable) so that your employee can correct it before submitting it again.
If you have Expenses approval process enabled and have expense claim transactions in Draft mode, the draft expenses will automatically be set to approved when you disabled the approval process.
