Attachments Screen

The Attachments screen displays items that you are required to include with the expense authorization. These could include items such as an airfare quote, hotel room confirmation, or trip authorization form.

This screen displays when you click in the Action column on the Workflow Status screen, or if you click to edit an existing attachment.

Submit

Click Submit to complete the attachment process, or if this is a FAX attachment, the coversheet displays on the Print dialog box, where you can print it. In this case, Deltek Expense generates a report that provides basic information about the expense authorization and identifies the item(s) you are faxing.

Your system administrator may configure coversheets to print in one of two ways:

  • Print Coversheet by Expense — When your system administrator selects this option, a separate coversheet prints for each expense. If you select multiple expenses, multiple coversheets print, each containing its own unique barcode.
  • Print Coversheet by Attachment Type — When your system administrator selects this option, a single coversheet prints for expense(s) of the same type, as displayed in the Type column. However, multiple coversheets print if you select expenses for multiple attachment types.

    For example, if two different attachment types display in the Type column and you select expenses for both, two separate coversheets print, and each coversheet lists the expenses assigned to that attachment type.

    Because multiple expenses may be listed in a single coversheet, they display in table format directly below the barcode, and they will flow to multiple pages if necessary.

    The barcode must be visible at all times. If you tape receipts to the coversheet, do not tape them over the barcode, which is scanned to identify which expense authorization to update.
