# Expense Dashboard

> View the expense management dashboard with summary statistics, approval queue, and recent expense reports in Finance & Revenue.

Expense Dashboard is the central overview for expense management, displaying summary statistics, an approval queue widget, a category breakdown widget, and a list of recent expense reports. Route: `/fa/expenses` redirects to `/fa/payables?tab=expenses`; the `ExpenseDashboardPage` component is mapped to this route via the `ExpenseDashboardPage` export.

## Overview

The `ExpenseDashboardPage` component renders summary stat cards (loaded via `useExpenseDashboardStats`), an approval queue widget (`FAExpenseApprovalQueueWidget`), a category breakdown widget (`FAExpenseCategoryWidget`), and a recent reports widget (`FARecentExpenseReportsWidget`). A **New Report** button is gated behind `fa.expenses.create`; a **Policies** button links to `/fa/settings/expense-policies` (gated behind `fa.expense-policies.view`). The route `/fa/expenses` is currently a legacy redirect to `/fa/payables?tab=expenses`.

## Who it's for

Requires `fa.expenses.view` (inferred from related expense routes). Create requires `fa.expenses.create`.

## Before you start

* Navigate to the Payables Hub (`/fa/payables?tab=expenses`) or search for the expense dashboard in navigation.

## Steps

1. Open the Expense Dashboard.
2. Review summary stat cards from `useExpenseDashboardStats`.
3. Check the approval queue in `FAExpenseApprovalQueueWidget`.
4. Review category spending in `FAExpenseCategoryWidget`.
5. Open a recent expense report from `FARecentExpenseReportsWidget`.
6. Click **New Report** to create a new expense report (requires `fa.expenses.create`).
