Overview

A report read would return membership, status and summarized amounts authorized for the caller. The report representation should explain whether totals are original, reviewed or corrected.

Key concepts

Keep currency totals separate and expose stable expense references. Approval history belongs to linked review records.

Implementation considerations

Do not add different currencies as if they share one unit. Any converted total needs a documented rate and valuation date.

Proposed API behavior

GET /v1/expense-reports/{report_id} is an illustrative design for this topic. Path and field names may change before implementation. Access would require an authorized organization context and operation-specific permission; no public API or authorization grant is available here.

No additional request fields are illustrated; this is not a finalized contract.

Static example requests

# Proposed request text only; this reserved host is not a live API.
curl -X GET 'https://api.remizen.example/v1/expense-reports/rpt_example_123' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

Fictional response example

{
  "data": {
    "report_id": "rpt_example_123",
    "currency": "USD",
    "version": 1,
    "id": "rpt_example_123",
    "organization_id": "org_example_123",
    "expense_ids": [
      "exp_example_123"
    ],
    "status": "draft"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "req_example_123",
    "reference_only": true
  }
}

Illustrative error case

Review this failure case in context: Do not add different currencies as if they share one unit. Any converted total needs a documented rate and valuation date.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_error",
    "message": "The proposed retrieve expense report operation requires review of its input or authorization.",
    "request_id": "req_example_123"
  }
}
