Non-reimbursable - expenses that will not be paid back to the employee associated with the expense

Choose from Draft, Open, Paid, Past Due, Uncollectible, Partially Paid, and No Client Invoice.
QuickBooks Status - filters to show expenses based on the status of whether an expense has been sent to QuickBooks Online or not.
Choose from Sent or Not Sent.

To share the page with selected filters applied, click Filters and then Copy Filtered View. This generates a link that allows another Monograph user to open the page with the same filters already in place - no additional setup required.
To note: the link will only work for users with the appropriate permissions to view the page in the same state as the sender. If a user does not have access to all included data, the page will not open.

Permissions Needed to Access the Expense Report
All users are able to access this report to review their own expenses, while Admins will have access to view all expenses. In order to allow other users to have access to view all expenses (including other team members'), they will need to have the "View all expenses" permission enabled.
Users who also have the "Manage all expenses" permission enabled will be able to edit, delete, and mark expenses as paid for themselves and others. If QuickBooks Online is connected, this permission will also allow these users to send expenses to QBO.
