### Expense

When the user register an expense in the system, it will be saved as an unsubmitted expense. The word "expense" in the service is a collection of words for all kinds of expenses that the user make. Expense can be milage, per diem, entertainment or just a receipt.

Expenses not attached to a report can't be submitted. The user needs to include the expense in a report to be able to submit it.

### Expense report

To be able to submit your expenses you need to create an expense report. Choose to attach all expenses you need to submit, and then send in your report.
