# Setting documentation submission deadlines Get answers to all of your questions regarding Brex **URL Source:** https://www.brex.com/support/set-documentation-deadline --- ## Overview To ensure timely completion of expenses, you can set deadlines for employees to add documentation and managers to review expenses or reimbursement requests. ## Documentation deadline Account and card admins can set a documentation deadline to ensure that employees add receipts, memos, and other documentation to their expenses. This gives the employee a fixed number of days to upload documentation after the date of their purchase. If an employee misses this deadline, their documentation will be marked as “overdue.” Account and card admins can choose whether employees receive emails reminding them about overdue documentation and whether managers are notified via email if documentation from a direct report is overdue by more than two weeks. ## Reviewer deadline A reviewer deadline helps managers, account admins, and card admins complete expense reviews and reimbursement requests on time. An account admin or card admin can enable this feature to set a timeframe for completing each review. If a manager misses this deadline, the review will be marked as “overdue,” prompting them to act as soon as possible. ## Setting deadlines Account or card admins can customize deadlines in the Brex dashboard by clicking your name at the top right and going to _Company settings _> _Expenses_. In the _Compliance _section, go to _Deadlines_ and click _Set up_ or _Edit_. Once deadlines are enabled, you can sort expenses in the _Expenses _page based on whether documentation and reviews are overdue. In the _All expenses _tab, click the _Compliance _dropdown menu and choose _Overdue_ to view overdue expenses only. In their dashboard, employees can view how many days they have left to submit documentation, and account admins, card admins, and managers can see how many days they have left to review by clicking on the specific expense in _Tasks_ or _Expenses. _In the details pane, they’ll see a yellow banner that notifies them _[X] days remaining to add documentation/review_. Once overdue, this banner will turn red and the notification will change to _Your documentation/review is overdue_. Managers, account admins, and card admins will see a slight variation on this banner when they open the expense’s detail pane. In the app, account admins, card admins, and employees can tap the expense in _Expenses _(or _Your expenses_ for employees). To the right of _Amount_, you’ll be able to view how many days are left before the documentation or review is due.
