Field | Description |
Originating
Vendor
|
Enter the
vendor number of the
vendor from whom the expense item was originally purchased. For example, an
employee may have paid for a hotel room and a plane ticket. You can associate the expense items with the specific hotel and airlines
vendor.
This field is displayed if your system administrator selected the
Enable Originating
Vendor for
Employee Expenses and A/P Vouchers option on the Payments tab of the Expense Settings form in the
Deltek (from the Navigation pane, select Expense under the Settings section).
To select an originating
consultant for an expense, do one of the following in
Originating
Consultant:
Vendors included in this list are those that are marked as approved for use in processing in the Firms hub for your current company and are available based on your security role.
You can select active or inactive
vendors, but not dormant
vendors.
|
Originating
Vendor Name
|
This field displays the name of the originating
vendor.
You can also use this field to select an originating
consultant name for an expense, do one of the following in
Originating
Consultant:
This field is displayed if the
Originating
Consultant field is displayed. You can display
Originating
Consultant Name whether or not you choose to display
Originating
Consultant. if you used this field to select a
vendor, the
Originating
Consultant field is also updated with the matching
vendor number for the selected
vendor.
|
Company Paid
|
This field is displayed if your system administrator selected
Yes for the
Allow company paid expenses option in the Options tab of the Expense Settings form. The form is accessed from Expense under the Settings section in the Navigation Pane.
Select this check box if the expense is company paid. Company-paid expenses are reimbursed to the
vendor, not the
employee.
A common example of a company-paid item is when you purchase an airline ticket for business travel, and the airline charges your company instead of you for the expense. Your company pays the airline for the ticket, but you add it to your expense report to create an audit trail and charge it to the appropriate
project.
If a credit card defined as "company paid" is assigned to the expense line, the
Company Paid option is automatically selected, and you cannot clear it. If a credit card defined as "employee paid" is assigned, the
Company Paid option is automatically selected, and you cannot clear it.
|
Credit Card
|
Use this field to assign a credit card to the expense line. Enter or select a credit card when you click
in the field.
|
Merchant Description
|
If a credit card is assigned to the expense line, the associated merchant description displays in this column. This is the merchant or description from the credit card statement that helps
employees identify a charge.
|
Currency Code
|
This field is displayed if Deltek is set up to use multiple currencies. Use the
Currency Code field to specify the currency that applies to the amounts in the
Amount,
Total Tax Amount, and
Net Amount fields for the expense item. For example, if you submit an expense report following a business trip to multiple countries, you might enter
USD for one line item,
EUR for another, and
CAD for yet another.
Use this field to select a currency code. To select a currency code, do either of the following:
- Enter one or more characters from the currency code to display a list of codes that contain those characters in a drop-down list. Select the code you want. If only one code matches your search text in
Currency Code, that code is automatically entered in
Currency Code without displaying the list.
- Click
to display all available currency codes in a drop-down list. Select the code you want.
If you use the Currency Override dialog box to specify a different transaction currency, it will apply to any new expense items that you subsequently add to the grid.
Note: If you assign miles/kilometers for the expense report in the Travel Detail dialog box, system checks the
Currency Code field to ensure the assigned currency matches the
employee's company's functional currency. If they are different, an error message displays, the
employee's company functional currency is entered in
Currency Code, and you cannot change it.
If a "company paid" credit card is assigned to the expense line, the currency code associated with the credit card displays in the
Currency Code field for reference. In that case, you cannot select a different currency. If the credit card for an expense line is "employee paid," the
Currency Code field behaves as it does when no credit card is involved.
|
Amount
|
Use this field to enter the expense amount.
When you enter an amount in this field with tax auditing enabled, the amount in this field is used to calculate the taxes that prefill the
Total Tax field in this grid. If amounts are entered in the
Payment Amount and
Net Amount fields, any updates that are made to those fields automatically update the amount in this field.
If you assign travel detail to the expense, and you make changes to the mileage/kilometer-related entries on the Travel Detail dialog box,
Amount automatically updates accordingly.
If you use the multiple currencies and the assigned transaction currency and functional currency codes are different, the
Amount field is used to calculate the amount in
Payment Amount as follows:
Amount X
Payment Exchange Rate. If a credit card is assigned to the expense line, this column displays the amount of the charge in the credit card receipt's currency.
|
Payment Exchange Rate
|
If you use the multiple currencies feature, use this field to specify the exchange rate. This is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another.
The amount in the
Amount field multiplied by the rate in this field is the amount in
Payment Amount. If you change any of these amounts, the others are automatically updated.
You can change the payment exchange rate if the code in
Currency Code does not match the functional currency for the
employee's company. If you change the assigned
Currency Code, the payment exchange rate is automatically updated.
The
Payment Exchange Rate displays a default rate in the following situations:
- If the transaction currency and functional currency differ, and you use the Currency Override dialog box to specify an override other than
None, the system applies the exchange rate based on the assigned date or rate method on the Currency Override dialog box.
- If the transaction currency and functional currency differ, and you use the Currency Override dialog box to specify
None as the override, system applies the daily exchange rate that is entered in desktop application.
If a credit card is assigned to the expense line, the following is considered for the payment exchange rate:
- If the expense item is linked to an imported credit card charge and the currency for the expense amount differs from the payment amount currency (the currency for the primary credit card), the system uses the
Amount and
Payment Amount fields to automatically calculate the exchange rate. In that case, you cannot change the exchange rate.
- If the expense item is not linked to an imported credit card charge but has a credit card assigned, and the currency for the expense amount differs from the payment amount currency, the exchange rate is recalculated if the date is changed.
|
Payment Amount
|
If Deltek is set up to use multiple currencies, this field displays the amount to be paid to the
employee, in their functional currency. This is calculated by multiplying the expense amount in
Amount by the exchange rate in
Payment Exchange Rate after any exchange overrides have been applied. As you change these amounts, the others automatically update and are stored in the functional currency of the
employee's company.
If the code in
Currency Code does not match the company's functional currency, you can enter or change the payment amount. If the currencies are the same,
Payment Amount displays the same amount as
Amount and is not editable.
If a credit card is assigned to the expense line, the amount in this column is the amount that will be paid to one of the following:
- Employee: Expenses that are not company paid are made in the functional currency of the
employee's company.
- Credit card company: Company-paid expenses that have an assigned credit card are paid in the currency that is assigned to the primary credit card.
- Merchant or
vendor
: Company-paid expenses that do not have an assigned credit card are paid in the functional currency of the
employee's company.
The amount is the transaction amount in the credit card currency. For example, if a United States
employee took a trip to Japan and used a US credit card, the amount in
Payment Amount is in US currency.
If the payment amount is not in the same currency as the functional currency of the
employee's company, the amount displays in a blue font. (A blue diamond also displays next to the column heading as an additional visual indicator that the column contains amounts in more than one currency.) The blue amounts are excluded from the expense report totals.
|
Exchange Override
|
This field displays the payment exchange override information from the Currency Override dialog box that applies to the expense row:
- None: No override applies to the row.
- Date - <date>: The exchange rate for the specified date is used to calculate the payment amount in the
employee's functional currency.
- Rate - <rate>: The specified exchange rate is used to calculate the payment amount in the
employee's functional currency.
If the
Currency Code,
Payment Exchange Rate, and
Payment Amount cannot be selected for display, you cannot display this column.
|
Total Tax Amount
|
If you use the Tax Auditing feature, this column displays the calculated tax amount for the expense item. Configuration options determine if the
Total Tax Amount prefills in this column, or if you will have access to the
icon to open the Taxes dialog box to enter tax code information.
A default amount displays if an expense category is assigned and it has default tax codes, or if a category is assigned and default tax codes are assigned on the Accounting Company Settings form in the desktop application (). If the selected category has associated default tax codes entered on the Expense Categories dialog box, then the tax rates that are entered for those default tax codes are applied to the amount in
Amount to calculate the total tax amount. You can only change these codes if
Yes is selected for the
Allow User to Edit Tax Code option in the Expense Categories dialog box. The Expense Categories dialog box is displayed when you click the
button at the end of the row for an expense category in the Expense Categories tab of the Expense Settings form in
Deltek (from the Navigation pane, select Expense under the Settings section to display the Expense Settings form).
When no default displays in
Total Tax Amount and the category's configuration allows, click in the column to open the Taxes dialog box. Use this dialog box to view, add, or remove tax codes and recalculate the tax amount, or to change the tax amount. When you use the Taxes dialog box to change the amount, the amount in the
Net Amount column is updated automatically.
If you use the multiple currencies and entered an expense line that uses a different currency, but you are not allowed to edit tax codes, an error message displays. The error message indicates that the taxes did not generate a default amount because the associated currency for the expense report is different than the currency on the expense line. in this case, when you try to open the Taxes dialog box, a similar message is also displayed and prevents you from accessing the Taxes dialog box.
Contact your system administrator for support.
|
Net Amount
|
If you use the Tax Auditing feature, this field displays the total net amount: Expense amount in
Amount less the tax amount in the
Total Tax Amount.
You can change the amount directly in this field. This results in automatic updates to the amounts in the
Amount and
Payment Amount columns.
|
