Employee Group Tab of Company Expense Report Configuration

Use the Employee Group tab to add, copy, and delete employee groups and to add or remove employees from employee groups in the active company.

Creating employee groups lets you organize employees into discrete groups for expense report entry, editing, submitting, approval, and posting purposes. For example, you can establish groups for the employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office.

Use employee groups to distribute expense report administration responsibilities throughout your company and to define expense categories.

You can sort information on the Employee Group tab by employee group code or description.
