# Review and resolve expenses

> Check the details, receipt, and policy context of an expense claim before approving it or explaining a rejection.

An expense reviewer should inspect the submitted claim, not just its amount. **Requests** and the expense detail show the type, description, supporting receipt, policy context, and the employee's submission status.

## Open the complete claim

Go to **Tasks > Requests** and select an expense awaiting review. Check the employee and expense type. For a regular expense, compare the amount, date, category, and description with the **Attached receipt**. Use **Open in new tab** if you need a larger view of the receipt. For Mileage, check the origin, destination, distance, and amount shown. For Per diem, check the travel details and breakdown.

## Read a policy warning in context

A claim can be submitted while exceeding a spending policy. The warning tells you to review the rule and the business reason; it does not itself mean the claim failed or must be rejected. If a receipt or another detail is unclear, use the information visible in the claim to decide what correction is needed.

## Decide and explain

Use **Approve** when the claim is ready. If it is not, choose **Reject** and enter a **Rejection reason** that tells the employee what to fix. The expense detail records the decision and reviewer. The employee can use **Edit & resubmit** on a rejected claim, so make the reason specific enough to act on.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Review actions are permission based. If the decision controls are missing, check that you are the assigned reviewer and that the claim is still awaiting a decision.
