Approve Button in Expense Report is not Available to a User with Administrator Role or Non-Administrator Role with Sufficient Accounting Approval Permission

Solution:
 

If there is only one account with Accounts Payable type, the Approve button will automatically be displayed for a role with Expense Report approval authority because there is no need to change and select another account on the Account field.

If there are multiple accounts with Accounts Payable type, the user with accounting approval authority will have to edit, select an account on the Account field and then save the transaction in order to approve the Expense Report.

• Login to the system using an Administrator role or a Non-Administrator role with sufficient permission to approve expense reports pending accounting approval.
• Navigate to Lists > Accounting >Accounts
• Click on the Type header in order to sort the Chart of Accounts according to Type
• Notice that there are multiple accounts with Accounts Payable type
• Navigate to Transactions >Employees >Enter Expense Reports >List
• Click the Edit link next to an Expense Report with Pending Accounting Approval status
• Put a check mark on the Accounting Approval box
• Select the appropriate account to charge the reimbursable expense on the Account field
• Click Save
