Environment

Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Travel and Expenses work center.

- Click on Edit button.
- The following occurs:
- Error - "Expense ID DD.MM.YYYY: Start date is not within expense report time frame"
- Warning - "Expense date DD.MM.YYYY is not within expense report time frame "
Cause
The expense header has the following dates 01.02.YYYY and 15.02.YYYY.
The expense details (expense item) has a date of 01.06.YYYY, (which is outside of the timeframe of the Expense header dates).
You can verify this by following these steps:
- Go to the Travel and Expenses work center.
- Go to the Expense Reports view.
- Select the relevant Expense Report ID and click Edit.
- Navigate to the Expenses tab.
- Verify the start date and end date of each expense in the Other Details section under the Expense Data sub-tab.
Resolution
In order to Submit the Expense Report without any issues:
Correct the Start Date and End Date of the Expenses Detail or adjust the overall Start and End date of the Expense Header which is maintained in the General tab.
