How It Works
From setup to rollout
A requester submits expense claims with the details owners need to review or act on the item.
The assigned owner reviews the submission, asks for updates when needed, and moves it into the right status.
Queues, reminders, and comments keep requesters and reviewers aligned on what is pending, approved, or blocked.
Completed requests remain searchable for reporting, audits, and future follow-up.
