For companies that require an additional review for employee card transactions on the card transactions, We recommends setting up a expense review policy step. Once the admin turns this on in the "Expense Review Policy" settings, reviewers will be required to review transactions.
Reviews may be done by navigating to the Cards > Needs review Tab to see all Expenses which are awaiting review and approval.
As you review these expenses, you can take two main actions on each:
Approve: If the expense in question falls within your expense policy, or you’ve authorized it, click on the Approve button. Volopay also allows you to make bulk approvals by selecting the empty checkboxes or checkboxes for an entire group.
Refunds appear alongside transactions and don't require approvals. When we "mark as ready" for accounting syncing, transaction requirements are not dismissed.
Flag: To flag transactions that you need additional information on, or are out of policy, click on the Red “Flag” icon. A text box will appear, where you can enter information as to why you’re flagging the transaction as out of policy or ask for more details.
Steps to approve an expense
Step 1: Start by navigating to the Cards section and moving to the Needs Review window.
The Needs Review page is accessible only to admins, card managers, and reviewers. Here, find all the expenses awaiting review.
Step 2: Approve an expense directly from the table by clicking on the Approve button.
Once approved, the expense disappears from the Needs Review tab.
Step 3: Alternatively, open the expense slider and approve the expense from there.
Step 4: Approving Multiple Expenses
Select the expenses to review and approve.
After selecting, approve all chosen expenses simultaneously.
