The following automatic activities are defined in the Expense report process:
- Check Company Policy - This activity, the first performed after the employee
submits a report, can check basic business rules. For example, it may find that the
expense amount does not need a supervisor's approval because it is below the
threshold specified by the business rules.
- Process Expense - Once the expense report is approved and checked, this activity
processes it for payment or accounting. For the purpose of this tutorial, this
activity is a placeholder; we won't actually process any expenses.
- Send Reminder - If the expense report returns to the employee, the employee usually
has a limited amount of time to re-submit the report. After a specified amount of
time, this activity e-mails the employee a reminder that his report is pending.
