With expense approvals, you can set up a customised approval process that allows you to define who within your company can submit expense reports with or without approval and when the approval is needed.
By default, approval is required for all employees. But you can customise the setting as per your company's requirement. You can change the default and add also add exceptions for employees who need a different approval process. There are three default settings to choose from:
All reports: This is our default setting. Employees will need approval every time they submit an expense report.
Out of policy reports: Employees will only require approval if any of the expense in their report is out of policy. You can learn how to set up your expense policy here.
No approval needed: Employees will not require approval for their expense reports. Any expense report submitted will be auto-approved.
Step 1–Set up a default approval process.
Company Owners and Admins can set up a default expense approval process by following these steps:
Sign in to your WegoPro account and select your company
Go to 'Company settings' and select 'Approvals'
Under Expense approvals, click 'Show details' and choose a default setting
Note: Setting up a default approval setting will apply to all employees in the company. You can add exceptions for employees who need a different approval setting following the steps below.
Step 2–Adding exceptions.
Once you've picked a default approval setting, you can add exceptions (if required). Exceptions allow you to choose a different approval workflow for a set of employees.
Click on '+ Add exception'
Select a different approval setting and add users/groups
Click Save to save your exceptions
