What is the proper outcome if an expense approval has not been defined in the settings?

If an expense approval has not been defined in the settings, the proper outcome is that the expense will be routed to the supervisor. This reflects the typical workflow within systems like NetSuite, where a lack of specific settings typically triggers a default process to ensure accountability and oversight. The supervisor's involvement serves as a safeguard to review expenses that need approval, allowing for appropriate oversight before any transactions are finalized or processed.

This routing ensures that, even in the absence of predefined settings, there is still a mechanism in place to assess and manage expenses, preventing them from being processed unchecked. Consequently, it maintains organizational control over financial activities, which is crucial for effective expense management and adherence to internal policies.
