Field Description
Function

Use this drop-down list to select the functional role for which to query employee expense authorizations. All of the functional roles that are set up in your system and that are linked on the Employee Groups screen display in alphabetical order, with Self being the default.

Group

Once you have selected the functional role, the groups to which the role is linked populate the Group section in alphabetical order. Highlight the group or groups that you want to query.

Last Name

Use this field to filter the results to include employees that belong to the group whose last name begins with a certain letter or letters.

For example, if you enter "S" in this field, those employees that belong to the group selected whose last name begins with "S" are included in the results set. If you enter "ST," only those employees who belong to the group selected whose last name begins with "St" are included.

Authorization ID

Use this field to filter the results to include those authorizations that begin with a certain character or characters.

For example, if you enter "EA00001" in this field, those expense authorizations that begin with "EA00001" are included in the results set. Those that begin with a different sequence, such as "EA00002," are not included.
