# How do I request reimbursement?

You request reimbursement by opening the reimbursement entry for your booked campaign and submitting your expense details with supporting documents.

### How to request reimbursement
1. Go to **My Workspace → Campaign View** (or **My Budget**)
2. Open the relevant **campaign**
3. Open the channel distribution’s **Reimbursements** section (or the reimbursement entry)
4. Open the entry with **“Needs Proof of Action”** status
5. Fill in the required fields:
    * **Campaign/Expense Name** (mandatory)
    * **Amount Requested** (mandatory)
    * **Fund Type Used**
    * **Expense Date** (mandatory)
6. Upload supporting documents (see “Required documents” below)
7. Add **optional comments**
8. Click **Submit**
After submission, the status changes to **Reimbursement Review Pending**.

### Important to know
* A reimbursement entry is **created automatically** once a campaign is finalized and assets are approved (initially “Needs Proof of Action”).
* You can submit **multiple reimbursement requests** per channel distribution (e.g., monthly invoices for the same campaign).
* You **cannot submit** if the related **budget usage is exhausted**.
* Reviewers cannot approve a request unless **required documentation** is attached.

### What happens next
After you submit:
* Finance / Brand Admin / Tenant Admin reviews the request
* They can **Approve**, **Reject**, or set **Info Requested**
* If approved → status becomes **Awaiting Reimbursement**
* Once paid externally and marked by Tenant Admin → status becomes **Completed – Reimbursed**
* You receive **notifications** at each stage (submission, approval, rejection, info requested, paid)
