Introduction

Creating an expense report is the first step toward submitting your expenses for approval and reimbursement. A report groups related expenses together under a single title and business purpose, making it easy for your approver to review everything in context.

Add Description and Business Purpose

Provide an optional description that explains the business context for the expenses in this report. While the description is optional, including a clear business purpose helps your approver understand why the expenses were incurred.

Set Date Range (Optional)

Tips

Use a consistent naming convention for your reports. A format like “Month Year - Purpose” (e.g., “March 2025 - Sales Travel”) makes it easy to find reports later and helps your approver process them quickly.
