Charges Tab

Use the Default Charge(s) tab of the Background section to enter the specific charges to which the expense estimates will default.

Enter as many charge allocations as necessary and set up the default allocation percentage for each allocation.

If you are entering a correcting expense report, your expense class or functional role (for example, supervisor) may be limited to modifying active charges only. When this is the case, Deltek Expense does not allow you to adjust the allocation percentage on inactive charges. Additionally, an expense report must contain at least one active charge for you to correct it.
