This job aid details the steps on how approvers can add attachments to expense reports they are reviewing and are in their queue awaiting their approval.

NOTES:
- The Edit button is greyed out. You can neither edit nor delete files attached by you or other users.
- If you need to delete a file, the expense report needs to be sent back, so the submitter can do so.
- The delivered option also does not allow adding descriptions to files added by approvers, so make sure the filenames are descriptive of their purpose.

10. You can click the View Attachments link to make sure the file(s) were added. If the budget is in Not Budget Checked status, you will need to click the Budget Validation link in order to approve the expense report.
