The error message " Merchant is required for Expense type - Line X (10502,45) The Merchant of the transaction for the specified expense line is a required field based on the edits on the expense type setup panel" may occur if you have left the the Payment Type field blank.

Each expense item must have a method of payment shown.

To resolve this issue follow these steps:

1. Click the OK button.

2. The expense line item without a merchant listed will show open and you can now select either Preferred or Non-preferred. If you use preferred, select the name of the merchant from the drop down list provided. If non-preferred is selected type in the name of the merchant where the expense transaction occurred.Continue through each line item until all merchant information is completed.

3. Once you have entered the merchant name, click the yellow Done button.

4. Click either the Save for Later or Submit for Approval button.

You should no longer receive the message and your expense report should submit successfully.
