Attachments Screen Fields

The attachments screen displays items that you are required to include with the Expense Report. These could include items such as an airfare quote, hotel room confirmation, or trip authorization form.

Depending on the type of item required, it displays in one of the following two tables in the Attachments section:

Print Coversheet

When you click Print Coversheet, Deltek Expense generates a report that provides basic information about the expense report and identifies the item(s) you are faxing.

Before you print the coversheet, you must first select the items you plan to fax from the following tables on the Attachments tab:

When you select items from the Expense Report Level grid, a single coversheet prints for each item you select.

For Expense Level Attachments, your system administrator may configure coversheets to print in one of two ways:

For example, if two different attachment types display in the Type column and you select expenses for both, two separate coversheets will print, and each coversheet will list the expenses assigned to that attachment type.

Because multiple expenses may be listed in a single coversheet, they display in table format directly below the barcode, and they will flow to multiple pages if necessary.

The barcode must be visible at all times. If you tape receipts to the coversheet, do not tape them over the barcode, which is scanned to identify which expense report to update.

Type

This column displays the type of item being attached as defined by your system administrator. Type may include items such as an agenda, client travel request form, or airfare quote.

Description/Status

If the required item is not yet attached or has not been marked as missing, this field displays a status of “Pending.”

After the necessary action is taken, a description of the task (for example, Record Attachment) displays.

The task descriptions are defined by your system administrator in Expense Report Types.

Rule

This field indicates the rule regarding the attachment, such as whether it is optional or required.

Icon Column

The icons that display in the last column indicate the status of the attachment or allow you to take an action. The following icons may display:
