Introduction
If you submitted an expense report and need to make changes, for example, to add a missing expense, correct an amount, or update the business purpose, you can recall the report. Recalling a report withdraws it from the approval queue and returns it to Draft status so you can edit it freely before resubmitting.When to Recall
Common reasons to recall a report:- You forgot to include an expense
- An expense has an incorrect amount or category
- You need to add or update the business purpose
- You accidentally submitted before the report was ready
- You need to remove an expense that does not belong

Confirm the Recall
A confirmation dialog appears asking you to confirm. Click Confirm to proceed. The report is withdrawn from the approval queue.

Important Limitations
If your report has already been approved and you need to make changes, contact your manager or administrator directly. They may be able to reopen the report or create a new one. If your report was rejected, it automatically returns to you for corrections and does not need to be recalled. You can edit it directly and resubmit.Recall Status Timeline
The report’s timeline tracks every recall and resubmission, so your approver can see the full history of changes.
