Frequently asked questions

Why does the screen keep buffering after I upload my expenses?

If your screen keeps buffering after you upload expenses, your file size is greater than 2 MB.
To avoid this problem:

1. Keep the file size to 2 MB or less.

2. Upload expense proofs separately.

Why is my expense not showing in my approved expenses list even though my reporting manager has approved it?

By default, the system is configured for two levels of approval, i.e. reporting manager and admin. Your reporting manager may have approved the expense, but your admin has not approved it yet.

Why can't I see the category in which I want to raise an expense?

If you cannot see the category, the admin has not created it.

Why is the system not allowing me to raise an expense?

If you exceed the expense amount limit, the system does not allow you to raise the expense.
You can view your expense limits in Main panel → Expense → Create Expenses → View limits (page navigation bar).

Can I update an already submitted expense?

No, you cannot update an expense once it is submitted. We recommend that you save the expense as a draft and make your changes. Once you are sure about the expense, submit it for approval.
