There are circumstances when an expense requires more than one approver or it exceeds the amount you're allowed to approve. Perhaps an expense encompasses more than one department. Adding an additional approver or review step keeps the expense process moving forward without any roadblocks that might delay reimbursement.
Depending on your organization's policies, both users and approvers can add extra review steps for an expense report. For example, if the expense report amount exceeds your approval limit or if the report contains allocations to a cost center that is not within your approval authorization, an approver must add more review steps which involve other approvers who are authorized for those cost centers or approval limits. A user submitting an expense report that allocates expenses to a special project cost center must add an additional review step(s) and approver(s) who have financial authorization for that project and cost center. See below to learn how to do this.
