Clicking on the report will show you each expense the employee has included in the report. You can return the report by clicking "Return" to the left of "Approve".

The Options dropdown menu to the right will allow you to add milage or an expense if need-be. You can generate a PDF if you'd like to keep a digital copy of the report.

Editing the report will allow you change the name of the report. If the employee is assigned to more than one department, you can change the department designation here as well.

Note: You cannot edit any of the expenses in the report from this menu. To edit individual expenses, click on them in the Expenses column.
