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:
Expense Report Level Attachments — Items required at this level usually include documents such as an itinerary or trip authorization. The required attachments are pre-defined by your system administrator and display in the grid automatically.
Expense Level Attachments — Items required at this level are attached to the specific expenses for which you are seeking authorization, and usually include items such as a hotel confirmation or airfare quote.
The following descriptions of Attachment screen fields apply to both the Expense Report Level and Expense Level tables. Any differences between fields in the two tables are noted within each description.

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:
Expense Report Level Attachments — This table displays items that apply to the authorization overall, such as a trip approval form. Select the check box next to each item you want to include in your fax, and then click Print Coversheet.
Expense Level Attachments — This grid displays your planned expenses, such as airfare and hotel quotes. Select the check box next to each item you want to include in your fax, and then click Print Coversheet.
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:
Print Coversheet by Expense — When your system administrator selects this option, a separate coversheet prints for each expense. If you select multiple expenses, multiple coversheets will print, each containing its own unique barcode.
Print Coversheet by Attachment Type — When your system administrator selects this option, a single coversheet prints for expense(s) of the same type, as displayed in the Type column. However, multiple coversheets will print if you select expenses for multiple attachment types.
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.
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.
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.
This field indicates the rule regarding the attachment, such as whether it is optional or required.
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:
Attach — indicates that the required document has not yet been attached. Click the icon to add the missing attachment.
View — Click to view the attachment.
Approved — indicates that the attachment was approved.
Rejected — indicates that the attachment was rejected.
Document Missing — indicates that the attachment is missing.
Record — indicates that the attachment has been recorded. If it has not been recorded, an X displays.
