Planned Expenses Screen

Use the Expenses section of the form to enter and estimate planned expenses.

Because the Expense Authorization application is highly configurable based both on the type of expense and other configuration options chosen by the system administrator, Help for this section may contain descriptions for fields that do not appear on your version.

When you enter the authorization in Wizard mode, you are advanced to the Expenses tab after you have entered all the basic information and clicked Update Authorization in the preceding screen, for example, Default Charges or Advances.

From the table on the Expense tab, you can add, edit, or delete expenses. After you add an expense, some details about the expense display in the table. These are described in the table below.
