As an approver in Factorial, you’ll receive expenses submitted by employees that require your review. There are several ways to access them quickly:

1. From notifications

• Email notifications: Every time an employee submits an expense requiring your review, you’ll get an email with a direct link to the expense.
• In-app inbox: You’ll also see a notification in Factorial’s Inbox. Click it to jump straight into the expense details.

2. From the Spending section

1. In your sidebar, go to Spending → Expenses
2. Use filters in two possible ways:
   • Filter manually: Select Status = Pending and Pending approvals = Mine to view only the expenses waiting for your action.

     

     
      
   • Quick access: In the top-right, under the subtabs navbar, you’ll see a box saying something like “X pending expenses”. Clicking this automatically applies the correct filters.
