When you click submit a confirmation window should pop up and allow you to add comments to the approver. Update the notes and click Submit.

Once Submitted a confirmation window will pop up and state that the records have been Submitted and an email notification sent to the approver.

Submission Errors

When viewing errors or violations on the web a summary of the violations in the submission are at the top of the page and items are specifically called out by a Yellow or Red indicator for the issue with that item. Hovering on the icon will indicate what the violation is. In this example, it is missing a receipt that is required for submission.

Correcting the Errors

Open the item and attach the receipt to be able to resubmit. If there are multiple issues with the submission they will be highlighted on this page. If you accidentally refresh this page simply attempt the submission again to get the violation details. The submission will not be sent at all. Once corrected, select the desired items and submit the batch again. If there are persistent issues or violations you are unsure of how to resolve please contact your company administrator or approving supervisor for direction on how to resolve the violation.
