GET

https://<instance>/api/expense_reports?status=approved_for_payment&exported=false

This API call queries all "not exported" and "approved for payment" Expense Reports.

Note that the Coupa Best Practice is to store the Coupa Expense Report ID in the ERP Connector/ERP, so the payment can be made directly without querying Coupa for the Expense Report ID.
