Other Lodging Expenses

Sometimes additional charges appear on a hotel bill that must be charged to a different General Ledger account than the lodging expenses. These additional charges may or may not be reimbursed to the employee. The Other Expense page of the Wizard allows you to expense these additional charges to the appropriate General Ledger accounts as set up in the Expense Types screen.

The Other Expense page displays only if the expense type is configured to allow other lodging expenses.

In some cases, the amount in Other Expenses in the Expense Amount screen results from a small difference between the amount calculated from the daily room rate plus tax and the total amount of the lodging as billed by the lodging vendor. If the additional amount is .05 or less, Time & Expense with ESS displays a message asking if the amount actually represents another lodging expense. If you indicate that it is not an additional lodging-related charge, the amount is added to the last day's lodging amount, and the Other Expense page does not display.
