What Happens After I Submit an Expense?

After you submit an expense, you may find it on either the Reimbursable Expenses screen or, if it was charged to a corporate credit card, on the Transactions screen.

Submitted expenses are not visible on the Emburse Spend mobile app until the user has at least one approved expense in their account.
