Fields

Field	Description
Group	From the drop-down list, select the employee group whose expense reports you want to review. You can sort entries on the grid by any one of the categories on the grid. Click the appropriate column heading to sort the list in ascending order. Click again to sort the list in descending order.
Diary	This field displays only if you have set up a diary on the Diary AutoNumbering tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions. Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction, or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in an accounts payable payment processing run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions. The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type. The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary AutoNumbering tab that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you use multiple companies, the Diary drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions. You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
