On this screen, you can view, modify and approve or reject any submitted expense claim items linked to a contract for which you are the project manager, given that they are within your approval limit. Standard approvers cannot take actions against claim items requiring project manager approval, so it is necessary for you to approve claim items here before the claimant’s approval manager can approve and submit the report they are attached to.
Approving or Rejecting an Expense Item
It is possible to quickly approve or reject an expense item directly from the My Projects grid. To do this, click the green Approve button or the red Reject button in the Approval Status column.
