Resolve Policy Violations in a Report

If your report or the expenses in the report have violated your organization’s policies, the violations will be highlighted in the report. You can resolve the violations and submit the report. There are two types of policy violations:

  This type of violation warns you regarding the policy violations you’ve made in your report. You can either resolve the violation or submit the report and leave it to the approver to approve or reject the report.
• Blocking Violations:
  This violation blocks you from submitting the report. You have to resolve the blocking violations to submit the report.

To resolve the violations:

• Go to Reports on the left sidebar.
