Expense Tab of the Employees Form (Desktop)

Use the Expense tab in the desktop application to enter and maintain administrative information related to expense reports.

Contents

The fields on the Expense Groups grid are enabled when you set the Level field to Group in the Expense Groups grid to assign an employee to more than one group, with appropriate editing privileges.

If you use multiple companies, the following applies:

  • The data that you enter on this tab applies to the company that the current record is associated with.
  • The tabs and fields that display are based on the company that the current record is associated with. For example, if the employee is associated with four different companies but only one company has access to Payroll, the Payroll tab of the Employees form only displays when you are viewing that company's record.
  • The values that are available in the individual fields and lookups are based on the company that the record is associated with. For example, only timesheet groups that are associated with the current company are available in the Group field on the Time tab of the Employees form.
  • If the Automatically retrieve your record in Employee Hub/Employee Review check box is selected in My Preferences in the desktop application, the employee record that automatically loads is for the home company that is associated with the current record. If the record is associated with multiple companies, the home company record displays first.

Group
