Ok, I just submitted my Sample package order and wanted to find out if I needed to manually put it in the expenses since it didn't ask if I wanted to like PP. Well, it didn't put it there and it didn't put my supply order from last month there either. My ? is did I do something wrong or is it something that they haven't worked out yet? Thanks for the help!!
 
I read elsewhere that they haven't fixed that part yet.
 
The automatic expenses (supply orders, consultant gift payment type, etc.) don't go over to the expense report automatically. I'm sure it's on Tech Support's list of things to do, but if you send them a note about it, they may move it up the list.
