Assign Expense Administration Rights to an Employee

Use the Expense tab of the Employee Info Center form to assign an employee's access rights to the Expense application.

To assign expense administration rights to an employee, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Info Center > Employees.
  2. Click the Expense tab of the Employee Info Center form.
  3. In the Group field, select an expense group for the employee. You create expense groups on the Employee Groups tab of the Company Expense Configuration form in Configuration > Time & Expense > Company Expense Report.

    If you use Vision Multicompany, the following applies:

    • The data that you enter on this tab applies to the company that the current record is associated with.
    • The tabs and fields that display are based on the company that the current record is associated with.
    • The values that are available in the individual fields and lookups are based on the company that the record is associated with. For example, the expense groups that are available in the Group drop-down list are those groups for the company to which this employee record belongs.
  4. Use the Administration fields to assign employee access rights to expense reports.
  5. Select the administrative level for the employee to determine the employee's access to the Expense application.
