Expense Report Header Details

The header area of the expense report displays basic details about the expense report. This information populates automatically after required fields are completed and the report is saved.

The header area of the expense report is the area above the tabs in Expert mode and above the left navigation and data entry area in Wizard mode. The header area only displays after you create the expense report.

The fields that display in the header are not editable and are populated from other areas of the form after basic information is entered and the report is saved successfully.

The header also contains hyperlinks and buttons for performing other actions, such as submitting, voiding, or correcting an expense report.
