For any organization that processes cash advances and expense reports, it is extremely important that strict financial controls are in place to ensure that fraudulent expenses are not claimed and paid. This is where the PeopleSoft Expense module's flexible approval feature comes into picture. PeopleSoft delivers various pre-configured approval rules and roles as part of the Approval Workflow Engine (AWE). We can configure various approval and audit rules for expense transactions by modifying these pre-configured objects.
In this section, we'll discuss some of the important configurations for expense approvals:
Approver types
Transaction definitions
Refinement templates
Privilege templates
Approver profiles
Approver assignments
Approver routing lists
