Hints and Tips

- Only one BI Manager can be set up per department and are assigned at department level (there is no hierarchy in eExpenses to link departments to divisions or subdivisions)
- The report includes expense transactions that have not yet been approved and exported to Oracle Financials
- Column D (Claim Key) is the cross reference for Oracle Financials
