Copy expense approval to accounts team

[james_mcc]

Hi,

My accounts team keep having to chase me each month to confirm my manager has approved my expenses. Is it possible to add them so they receive notification of my submission, and subsequent manager's approval, of my expenses? Lots of additional email traffic is being generated which could be cut out if they have visibility.

Thanks in advance, James

@james_mcc notifications of submitting reports only goes to assigned default approver. However, if you manager adds all the account team members to his/her profile and allows them to Approve as a delegate, they too would receive the emails. They will not be notified though when your manager approves your report. 

My questions for you are:

Is the accounts team only chasing you down each month? If so, why only you? If not, why are they making so much extra work for employees and themselves?

Is the Accounts team giving final approval on reports? If so, they have their own approval queue they should be checking every day. They do not receive notices when a report lands in their approval queue, but checking that queue should be part of their daily routine. 

Anyway, the delegate option is the only way for them to be notified you have submitted your report, but there isn't any way to notify them your manager has approved it.
