# How to Reject and Manage Employee Expenses in Accounts Payable
### Overview
You can now reject Employee Expenses directly from the invoice queue within the Accounts Payable (AP) module. This feature allows you to manage employee expenses efficiently, ensuring proper handling and tracking of rejected expenses.
### How to Reject an Expense Receipt
#### Step 1: Reject Expense Report
1. **Navigate to Invoice Queue**:
- Click on 'Expense Management', 'Accounts Payable', and then on 'Invoice Queue'.
1. **Reject Expense Report**:
- Click on the "Reject Expense Report" button.
- Click on "Delete" in the confirmation popup.
#### What Happens When You Reject an Expense Report
- The expense report will move to the Accounts Payable Trash.
- The associated receipt will be moved to the "Uploaded" tab in the "My Expenses" section.
### Restoring a Rejected Expense Report
1. **Navigate to Accounts Payable Trash**:
- Click on settings while in the Accounts Payable module.
- While in settings, select Trash from the left navigation.
- Locate the rejected expense report.
1. **Restore Expense Report**:
- Click on the "Restore" option.
- The expense report will return to the invoice queue in the in-verification state.
- The associated receipt will be moved to the "Submitted" tab in the "My Expenses" section.
- If the receipt is also in trash, it will be restored automatically.
### Viewing Rejected Expense Receipts
- **Uploaded Tab**:
- Rejected expense receipts will be displayed with a "Rejected" tag.
- If an employee resubmits the same receipt, the associated expense report will be restored from the Accounts Payable Trash.
### Editing and Resubmitting Rejected Expenses
1. **Edit Expense**:
- Attempting to edit a rejected expense will display an error:
- “An expense receipt cannot be edited once it has been initially submitted. If needed, please submit a new expense receipt.”
2. **Resubmit Expense**:
- Click on "Resubmit Expense" to move the expense back to the invoice queue.
- The associated expense report will be restored from the trash.
### Additional Options for Rejected Expenses
- **Send Message**:

- **Remove Expense**:
- Removes the expense from the "My Expenses" section and goes to trash.
