Expense claims entry settings

To specify your expense claims settings

Open: Project Accounting > Utilities > System Setup > Timesheet and Expense Claims Settings | Expense Claims.

Select from the following settings:

Allow expense claim entry

Select this if you want to use expense claims in Project Accounting.

Use expense claim categories

 

Select this if you want to use expense categories.

Expense categories are used to group expense items together; e.g. a Travel category may include Flight, Train and Taxi Expense Items.

Once selected a n expense category must be selected when the expense claim is entered and then only items associated with that category can be chosen.

Authorise expense claims

Select this if you want to use expense authorisation to approve submitted expense claims.

Once selected, all expense claims must be authorised before they can be posted.

Note: To choose which resources have permission to authorise expense claims and set their authorisation limits, set the permissions and authorisers on the resource records.

Next expense claim no

Use this to set the reference number for the next expense claim.

You cannot change this to a number lower than expense claims already entered.
