Assigning a charge means selecting a document (such as an expense report) with which to associate the charge.

When you assign the charges to a new or existing expense report, Ariba Buyer displays the Reconcile Done screen to confirm the charges were successfully assigned.

1. Review selected charges. Click a Merchant Name to review charge details.
2. Review available expense reports. Click ID to review an expense report.
3. Click New Expense Report to assign the charges to a new (untitled) expense report, or Assign for an existing expense report to which you want to assign the selected charges.

You can also click Exit to return to the Reconcile Charges screen without selecting an expense report, or Previous to return to the Assign Charges screen, to change your selection.
