Missing Receipt Affadavit Not Allowed for Report Submission

[sdianems]

I have a report to submit, but the error message states that a receipt, not a missing receipt affidavit, is required for a hotel restaurant expense.  My director no longer has this receipt and the hotel cannot locate this.  And there is a different hotel charge without a receipt, and the MRA is not recognized with this line item either.

How do I fix this situation in order to submit?

Thank you,

@sdianems I looked at the report and there is no workaround for this that I can see. 

I'm curious as to why the hotel cannot provide a copy of the hotel bill. It is very common for someone to need a copy of a hotel bill after staying, so for the hotel to say they cannot "locate" it seems a bit fishy to me. 

I would try again with the hotel. They must have a copy of the bill in their system. If the person you speak with pushes back, I would ask to speak to a supervisor. Not having an electronic copy of someone's bill in this day and age is pretty unusual. 

If they still won't provide it, then I would speak with someone who works in your Finance department or whichever department does the final approval of reports and see what they suggest to attach instead of the receipt.
