  1. Instructions icon New!

To view on-screen instructions for receiving receipts, you can either click the Instructions icon to open a popup window, or hover your cursor over it to view the tool tip. Other screens that require extensive on-screen instructions also use this icon.

  1. Report Number (user-defined label)
    Report Description

The report number and description for the expense report that you are receiving receipts for.

  1. Receipt Received

This shows you whether the report has had no, some (partial), or all receipts received.

  1. Expense Category

    Sort button

The expense category for the item that requires a receipt.

By default, the list of expense items is sorted in ascending order by category, and then in ascending order by date. You can sort by any column heading, in either order:

  • Click a heading to sort in ascending order. You will see an Ascending ascending arrow appear to the right of it.

  • Click a heading again to sort in descending order. You will see a Descending descending arrow appear to the right of it.

  1. Date

The date on which the employee incurred the expense for which a receipt is required. It is the combination of the category and date that equals each expense item that requires a receipt.

  1. Received By

If a receipt has already been received for this item, then you can see the receiving approver's name here.

  1. Received Date

If a receipt has already been received for this item, then you can see the date when it was received here.

  1. Amount

The amount that the employee entered for the item that requires a receipt. If you scroll to the bottom of the list of expense items, you can see the total for all items on the report that require receipts.

  1. Check boxes

To acknowledge that you have received receipts, place a check to the right of each expense item for which you have received receipts.

If you previously indicated that you received receipts for an item in error, you can uncheck the item.

As a shortcut, you can click the check box above the list to check all expense items for this report. From there, you can click OK to receive all receipts for the report, or uncheck boxes as needed before clicking OK.

  1. OK

    Cancel

Click OK to save your receipt changes and return to the previous screen. If that screen is Receive Expense Receipts, then the reports that you retrieved are still displayed for you to select another report for receiving receipts.

To exit the screen without saving any receipt changes that you made since opening it, click Cancel.
