# #10542 [Master] - Slice 638097: [Expense Agent] Enable simple interim approval scenario

> Expense reports now support a two-stage approval flow with interim and final approvers in agent mode, with automatic prepopulation of the final approver from the user's designated approver.

[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/pull/10542) · merged into `main` (BC30) on 2026-08-27 by v-rohangarg20 · 10 files (+962 -11), 9 AL · feature · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- Added interim and final approver fields to expense report headers with validation rules
- Introduced 'Interim Approved' status for two-step approval workflow (or single-step when no interim approver set)
- UI and API support for assigning interim approvers, restricted to agent mode
- Guards prevent interim approver conflicts (not submitter, not final approver, required selection)
- Activity logging tracks interim approver assignments and interim approvals
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
