    When you save an expense, the system validates the Pay Amount against any reimbursement policy rules configured for the expense category. Two types of validation results can occur:

    • Reimbursement Policy Violation — A Hard Stop error appears inline below the expense entry. The message reads: Reimbursement Policy Violation. The [Expense Category] [-Expense Type] expense exceeds the company's reimbursement policy limit of [Threshold] [Currency]. Please reduce the Pay Amount or contact your manager. If a customized policy description is configured, it displays below the message. The expense cannot be saved until the Pay Amount is reduced to comply with the policy limit.
    • Attention — A Red Flag warning appears indicating the expense exceeds the policy limit but can still be submitted. The message reads: Attention. The [Expense Category] [-Expense Type] expense exceeds the company's reimbursement policy limit of [Threshold] [Currency]. You may proceed, but please note this entry will be flagged for additional review and reimbursement is subject to manager approval. Click Review Expense to return to the expense form and adjust the Pay Amount, or click Proceed & Submit to submit the expense flagged for manager review.

    If a receipt is required for the expense category and has not been attached, the system prompts: Please attach your receipt for [Expense Category] [-Expense Type]. Attach the receipt before the expense can be submitted. If you submit more than one expense at a time, the system validates them in the order they were submitted.
