How does an Approver delete a duplicate receipt?

Hi,

Just to clarify, if I as an approver delete a receipt off of a claim because it is a duplicate, I believe this would go back into the claimants' Expensify inbox?

As an approver, is there not a way we can permanently delete duplicate receipts on the spot? This will be in order to prevent accidentally being reimbursed twice for the same receipt, and so that the claimant does not have the task of having to delete the receipt from his / her Expensify logon?

Many thanks.

Hi @C_Bradford_1 , this is a great question! Right now there is no admin functionality that allows you to delete rejected expenses on an employee's behalf. Only the account holder, in this case employee, can delete their expenses and reports.

Thanks for your comments.

I will add this as in idea on the Expensify Community.

From my point of view, it would seem tedious for the employee to have to delete receipts if they are duplicates, or they were rejected as the expense was not allowable, and it would be ideal if the admin could delete the receipt completely their end.
