Approval Group (Expense Request)

If your system is configured to use the expense approval process, once the user submits an expense request, it is forwarded on for approvals.  This field indicates to which expense approval group this user belongs.

Available approval groups are limited to those belonging to the user's person organization (see Profile tab), or approval groups that do not specify an organization.

User's can also be associated with approval groups via the Time and Expense Approval Group maintenance screens.

Note:  If a user's approval group is changed and they have expense requests in the approval process, those expense requests will be resubmitted to the user's new approval group.

Note: For user's designated as subcontractors (see People Profile - Roles), if this field is empty and the Require Approvals - Expenses Request (approval_process.require.approval.expense_request) property is set to true, this field will default to the Expense Report Approval Group if one exists.
