# **The Expense List**

The Expense List is your main dashboard for tracking all the expenses you’ve added in Toggl Work. Think of it as your control center - where you can see what’s pending, what’s approved, and what still needs your attention.

### **What You’ll See**

Each expense is shown in a row with these columns:

- **Date** → Referring to the date on the receipt.

- **Description** → A quick note about the expense.

- **Category** → This can refer to templates categories like “Meals”, “Travel”, “Office” etc… or any custom category you’ve set up. (or your admin)

- **Trip** → If the expense is assigned to a trip, you will see it there.

- **Amount** → The total amount associated with that expense (shown in your workspace currency).

- **State** → The current status of the expense (see below).

### **Expense States**

Each expense has a state that tells you where it is in the workflow:

- **Draft** → The expense as a _draft_ is only visible to you.

- **Submitted** → It means you already sent it for approval.

- **Approved** → Accepted by an admin or an auto-approval rule

- **Rejected** → Your expense has been declined, with a rejection reason attached.

- **Processing** → This is a temporary state while data is being processed (it’s rarely shown).

💡 Hover over a state label to see more details, like who approved or why it was rejected.

### **Filtering the List**

Do you need to find something quickly? Use the filters at the top to narrow results by:

- Month & year

- Category

- State

- Trip

### **Bulk Actions**

If you have a lot of expenses, managing multiple expenses at once can be hard. So we try to make it easy for you. You can tick the checkboxes to:

- **Submit** → This will send several draft expenses for approval in one go.

- **Export** → By clicking Export, you can generate a PDF report of approved expenses, with all the details and the attached receipts.

💡 If you’re working solo (approvals disabled), you can export submitted expenses as well. The Export wizard also lets you filter by month, category, or trip before creating the report.

✅ That’s it! From here, you can keep expenses organized, move them through approvals, and generate reports whenever you need.
