Review approvals

Open Approvals to see the work you can act on. Items depend on your permissions, management scope and the enabled features. A manager assignment alone does not grant approval permission.

1. Open the relevant section or request.
2. Check the person, dates, amount or hours and any supporting information.
3. Approve, reject or query the item using the available actions. Give a clear reason where requested.
4. Confirm the resulting status before moving to the next item.

Approving an expense or hours entry does not pay it. Payment is recorded separately by someone with payment permission.

Your own requests

You cannot manually approve your own hours or expenses. They may be counted separately from the requests you can approve. Owners’ own annual leave is recorded immediately, without approval; that exception does not allow owners to approve their own expenses or hours.

Automatic expense approval

An owner can configure an automatic policy with a threshold. It applies only when the claim meets the policy and category/receipt checks, and its amount is strictly below the threshold. The exact threshold still needs a person. The claim records Automatic policy as the approval method.

Arrange cover

Open Profile → Approval cover to nominate an eligible person for a date range and request types. The available people depend on reporting boundaries and matching approval permissions. Cover transfers approval work within those rules; it does not grant general HR access.

If a request has no approver, ask an owner to check the person’s reporting line, management scopes and approval permissions in Settings → Reporting and approvals.
