Expense reports are processed for approval through the approval workflow. The approval workflow for expense reports is managed in the desktop application and in Deltek.

The Expense Settings form is accessed in Expense under the Settings section of the Navigation pane. The approval workflow settings are setup at the desktop application in Settings > Workflow > Approval Workflows.

Approval Roles

When the approval workflow for expense reports is enabled, approval workflow related option are displayed in Storm's Expense Report form. The displayed options are based on the approval role of the employee. The approval workflow include options to submit, approve, reject, or reassign expense reports.

Approval roles are setup in the desktop application in Settings > Organization > General. Assigning employee approval roles are also setup in the same location.
