The Search tab, located in the upper left in the Expense Requests system, allows a search for previously submitted Expense Requests or historical iOU transactions. You can search for Expense Requests transactions or historical iOU transactions but not transactions from both systems at once.
Search for Expense Request Transactions
Before You Start
Transaction number is the fastest way to search for a specific transaction. A combination of search criteria can be used if the transaction number is not available. When searching Expense Requests or iOU transactions, certain search criteria may require specifying a date range up to 6 months in duration.
Some search criteria do not require a date range and, therefore, return all results, regardless of transaction date (up to 400 rows).
Transactions that match all the entered search criteria will be displayed. If you have sufficient privilege, you can access transaction and payment details, withdraw from the approval workflow or copy to begin a new transaction.
