Field Description
Account Use this column to enter a non-consultant reimbursable or non-consultant direct expense account. You can enter an account number, use the Account Lookup, or use Quick Find. If the expense is reimbursable, Deltek calculates the billing amount based on the multiplier defined in Service Estimate tab in Settings > Opportunity Settings. However, if the expense is direct, you must enter the billing amount as needed.
Billable Deltek selects this option if the account is reimbursable.
Planned Cost Enter the estimated or forecast cost amount by expense account.
Planned Bill Enter the estimated or forecast billing amount by expense account.

For reimbursable expenses, if a Billing Multiplier is entered in Settings > Opportunity Settings, Deltek calculates this field as follows:

If the expense is direct, you must enter the billing amount.
