The following information provides details on the fields and options on the Expense Log screen, list view:
Key Fields
The key fields at the top of the Expense Log screen define the data about to be entered or that you want to review.
View By:
The Expense Log can be viewed by Employee,
Project or Vendor. Select
any option from the drop-down list in this field. If you choose Employee,
expenses can be logged for one employee on multiple projects. If you choose
Project, expenses can be logged for many employees on one project. Typically,
expenses are entered by an employee in "View By: Employee" mode.
However, when project managers review records, they normally review them
per project in "View By: Project" mode. This field affects the
records being displayed in the grid below.
A security setting for Expense Log enables the project and employee managers to see records for only those employees that the user is manager for. Thus, expense data can be viewed at on the "workgroup" basis, so that projects or employees can be selected on the basis on their Manager designation.
Project/Employee/Vendor: (required)
Depending on what is selected in the View
By field, Employee/Vendor or Project field is displayed. Select
the project or employee by clicking . Click the list
header to sort the list in any order. When an employee or vendor who is
permitted to access the time and expense screens only logs in, this field
is pre-filled. In addition, this field is unavailable and non-editable.
Click the Filters... link to display the relevant Filter screen wherein filters can be applied to the respective drop-downs for selective viewing. This would depend on the option selected in the View By field. On the Project/Employee Filter screen, select the check box for the Project/Employee (or Vendor) records that you want to display in the drop-downs in Expense Log.
Period:
The period field provides Day, Week, Biweekly, Month, Bimonthly, Year,
Fiscal, All, Custom, etc. They determine the range of expense entries
that are displayed in the grid. They do not restrict the dates you will
assign to the expense entries. The next field, Period Including, works
in combination with the Period field to determine what range of expense
entries are displayed in the grid. In case of All option, all the expense
entries recorded for the selected Employee/Project are displayed in the
grid, irrespective of the date in the Period Including field.
Period Including/Period From-To:
Enter any date within the period you want to display. You can select the
date from the drop-downs or the Calendar.
You can also use - (Previous Day), + (Next Day) to decrement or increment
the date by one day or Today to select the current date. If the Period
you have selected is "month", and the Period Including is "February
28, 2021", you will view the expense entries for the month of February
2021. Again, neither the Period nor the Period Including fields restrict
the dates you will assign to the expense entries. If you select Custom
or Bi-Weekly in the Period field, the
Period Including field changes to Period From and To fields and accepts
a range of dates.
More Filters:
Select from this drop-down list to display selective expense entries, say those which are submitted, approved, unapproved, billable, billed, reimbursable, those associated with vendor bills, etc. Click Refresh to apply the selected filters.
