Summarized Expense Report

The Summarized Expense Report provides an overview of expense charges for a single expense report. The report includes all expense information entered on the expense report, except for any detail information entered for expense items.

You can preview and/or print this report only from the Expense Report form and the Select Expense Report dialog box.

Supporting Documents

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

If you generate this report from the Expense Report form or the Select Expense Report dialog box and Print Supporting Documents is selected, all supporting documents associated with the expense report are included. Supporting documents display in the order of the expense rows they are linked to. (If the same document is linked to more than one expense row, only one copy of it is included in the report.) If the report includes any supporting documents, the report displays in the application you use to view .PDF files rather than in the standard report Preview window.

If the Print Supporting Documents option is not selected, the expense report will display with a document icon to indicate supporting documents. If you are in the Preview window, you can click this icon to open the supporting documents in the application that you use to view .PDF files.
