Expense report status tracks where a report sits in the approval and payment workflow. Zoho Expense uses a set of defined statuses to give employees, managers, and finance teams real-time visibility into every report without needing to chase updates manually.<\/p>\n
The typical statuses are: Draft<\/strong> (the employee is still adding expenses), Submitted<\/strong> (sent to the approver), Under Approval<\/strong> (awaiting a decision in a multi-level workflow), Approved<\/strong> (all approvers have signed off), Reimbursed<\/strong> (payment has been processed), and Rejected<\/strong> (returned to the employee for correction). Each status triggers automatic email notifications to the relevant parties.<\/p>\n Employees can check their report status from the Zoho Expense mobile app or web dashboard at any time. Finance teams see a consolidated view of all reports by status, making it easy to identify which reports are pending payment and which are still awaiting approval.<\/p>\n Yes. In Zoho Expense, an employee can recall a submitted report as long as the approver has not yet taken any action. This allows the employee to add missed expenses or correct errors before the report is formally reviewed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes. Zoho Expense maintains a full audit log for every report, recording who changed the status and when. This is useful for resolving disputes and satisfying auditor requirements around expense approvals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The current stage of an expense report in its lifecycle, such as Draft, Submitted, Approved, or Reimbursed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Expense Report Status | Zoho Expense Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"The current stage of an expense report in its lifecycle, such as Draft, Submitted, Approved, or Reimbursed.","seo_keyword":"expense report status zoho expense","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1260],"class_list":["post-5229","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-expense"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Tracking Status in Zoho Expense<\/h2>\n
