How can I have the receipts go directly to reports? It always says "nothing to see here". all clear

If a user has an open report, a receipt that is sent to Expensify will create a new expense and attach it directly to that report. If they do not have an open report, a new receipt will create a new expense and report at one time. Check your settings by going to settings>policies>select group policy>scheduled submit.

Policies Individual Policy Name (typically is Personal if not changed). Reports Scheduled Submit - This is where you can change "How often expenses submit". Change it from Manually to an option of your choice (frequency). This will automatically take receipts and assign it to one report.

I would need a bit more info -- are the expenses coming via email or via the app? Once you answer, I can give you my opinion.
