Supporting Document Dialog Box in Expense Report Approvals

Use the Supporting Document dialog box to view documents that have been associated with an expense line item for a project.

The associated documents are usually sales receipts that were uploaded for an expense report item in Time & Expense > Expense Report.

This dialog box opens only if Vision has been configured to allow you to view supporting documents. See your system administrator if it has not been configured.

Location

To open the dialog box, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Time & Expense > Expense Line Approval.
2. In the Project grid, select a project. Your system administrator determines which projects require line item approval, and who can approve line item expense charges. After you select the project, the Expense Report Line Items Approval grid updates to display the project's associated expense line items. The projects that displays on this grid must meet the following conditions:
   • Line item approval is required for expense charges to the project.
   • Expenses have been charged to the project.
3. In the Expense Report Line Item Approval grid, select a charge from an expense report. A Document Uploaded icon with a green check mark displays when there is a document uploaded and associated to the expense item. Click this option to access the Supporting Documents dialog box, where you can view each supporting document in .PDF format. If no document is attached to the expense item, the icon with the blue up arrow displays in the Document field. If you click this option, the Supporting Documents dialog box displays but there will be no associated documents listed.
