Specifying the review settings of built-in expense fields
As a Payhawk administrator, you can also define which built-in expense fields are required for review. As a result, if any of the required fields have been left blank, Payhawk accountants will not be able to mark an expense as reviewed (from the Expense app).
If the visibility of the built-in expense field is No one, Required for review is not available.
To enable the Required for review setting for a built-in expense field:
Go to Settings > Expense fields.
Click on the desired built-in expense field, for example, Document date.
Turn the Required for review toggle on.
Specifying the submission settings of built-in expense fields
Fields that are required for submission are fields that you would expect employees to fill in before they submit expenses.
Required for submission is only available if the visibility of the built-in expense field is Everyone.
To enable the Required for submission setting for a built-in expense field:
Go to Settings > Expense fields.
Click on the desired built-in expense field, for example, Document date.
Turn the Required for submission toggle on.
