This box will pop up. Here you have to choose for which expense category you want to add a max amount. Just click on the category.

In our example we will use the category *Demo.*

When clicking the exception, this window will be shown.

Here you choose *Amount validation* in Field validation and the field for Maximum allowed value will be visible for editing.

In our example we've set the *Maximun allowed value* to 3000.

Also remember to set *Blocker (Not possible to send)* in the field for *Blocker type.*

You can also choose a message to be displayed to the user who tries to submit a report with an amount that is not valid.

When a user then tries to submit a report with an amount higher than allowed, this message will pop up.

In the background you can also see the message that was entered in the settings, that message will be shown in the report.
