Hi,

I've seen that expression very often. It's related to the way a document is presented: providing great detail, showing every item separately.

Cheers,

In this context, it means completing his company's expense report form and sending it through to the various people who have to approve it before he can be reimbursed for the expenses. Usually one's supervisor has to approve it, and then it goes to the business's financial office for payment to reimburse the employee for out of pocket expenses on business travel.

I should have elaborated on this. Americans say "filed" to mean completing our income tax returns, completing the procedure to begin an insurance claim, etc. It means going through the prescribed process to complete some paperwork for a particular purpose.

e.g., Mary filed her income tax returns at the last moment before they were due. John filed an insurance claim to have his car rep
