# #10890 [Master] Bug 645040: Expense Agent: BC Approval Workflow - Improve error message when Approval User Setup is missing

> Expense approval workflow now shows a clear, actionable error message when the current user lacks a User Setup record, with a link to open the configuration page.

[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/pull/10890) · merged into `main` (BC30) on 2026-09-09 by v-rohangarg20 · 8 files (+108 -6), 7 AL · fix · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- New internal helper GetCurrentUserSetupForApproval replaces the generic missing-record platform error
- Error message asks the user to configure their User Setup because the expense approval workflow is enabled
- Error includes an action to open the Approval User Setup page, shown only with read permission on User Setup
- Used on the Expense Report, Expense Report List, Expense Reports, Manager Expense Report and Manager Expense Reports pages and the Expense Report Header table
- Tests added for the missing User Setup scenario
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
