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 ## Recall a Submitted Report Navigate to **My Expense Reports** in the sidebar and click on the report you want to recall. The report must be in **Submitted** status. Click the **Recall** button at the top of the report detail page. This button is only visible on reports with **Submitted** status. A confirmation dialog appears asking you to confirm. Click **Confirm** to proceed. The report is withdrawn from the approval queue. The report status changes back to **Draft**. You can now: * Add or remove expenses * Edit expense details * Update the report title, description, or date range * Fix any issues that prompted the recall After making your changes, follow the [Submit a Report](/guides/web-app/reports/submit-report) guide to submit the report again. ## Important Limitations You can only recall a report while it is in **Submitted** status. Once an approver has moved it to **Under Review**, **Approved**, or **Rejected**, the recall option is no longer available. 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 | Action | Status Before | Status After | | --------- | ------------- | ------------ | | Submit | Draft | Submitted | | Recall | Submitted | Draft | | Re-submit | Draft | Submitted | The report's timeline tracks every recall and resubmission, so your approver can see the full history of changes. ## Related Guides Re-submit your report after making changes Add missing expenses to your recalled report Understand the full report lifecycle Learn how the approval process works
