Use the drop-down box to select the action that you wish to perform. The available options are:
Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed
Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances
The default value is "Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed."
How this field works depends on the option you select for the Action drop-down box. If you select "Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed," this will be an edit field. If you select "Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances," this field will be a drop-down box.
If this field is editable, you will supply the batch ID that will be used to update the expense report records. In this case, the Batch ID field is required and must be unique; otherwise, the system will display error messages as follows: "Batch ID is required" or "Batch ID has already been used. Please enter a different one."
If you selected "Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances," this field will be a drop-down box from which you will select the batch ID to specify the expense reports for which the statuses will be set to "Approved." The available options are those batch IDs that have been assigned to processed expense reports. The default value for the drop-down box is "Select." If you do not select a batch ID before selecting the Execute pushbutton, the system will display the following message: "Batch ID is required."
The availability of this field depends on your selection in the Action drop-down box. If you selected "Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances," this field will be disabled. If you selected "Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed," use this drop-down box to select the function of the supervisor/administrator. The available selections depend on the rights that you have as a supervisor in the system. If you have more than one functional role in the system, the default will be "Select." If you have just one functional role, it will be the default.
If you have not made a selection in the Function drop-down box when you select the Execute pushbutton, the system will display the following error message: "No function is selected."
Your selection determines which groups display in the group list. For example, if you have a primary supervisor function set up in your Functional Roles screen and select "Primary Supervisor," the groups to which you have primary supervisory rights will display in the group list. Please see the "Functional Roles" section of the Deltek Expense Getting Started Guide for more information.
