When Emburse Assurance Flags Issues Before Submission: If your organization uses Emburse Assurance, selecting Submit can open a review window for flagged expenses before the report is submitted for approval. Review each violation and enter an explanation where required. You cannot continue until all required explanations are complete. If no supported issues are found, the review confirms that all checks passed. If a check is still processing, the review can display a pending review state until the result is ready.
After submitting your expense report, you have the option to rate and comment on your vendors using SpendSmart.
