Enter a 10-character uppercase alphanumeric batch type code. Each code must be unique.
Enter up to 30 characters for the batch type description. Make descriptions as short as possible and properly capitalize them because they are used in drop-down lists and as column headings for reports and inquiries.
Use the drop-down list to select the source of this batch type. The valid values in version 8.0 are "American Express ( KR 1025)", "Visa VCF 4.0", and "Manual Entry." If you plan on importing expenses from a credit card feed from American Express or Visa, select the proper source. You should select "Manual Entry" if you plan on manually adding expenses to the screen either from a credit card or from another source. The source selected determines the layout of the Import Options Tab. This is a required field.
Enter the number of days in which the expenses that use this Batch Type will be due.
Example: If you import expenses from an American Express Card and want them to be expensed within 30 days, enter "30" in this field.
Use the drop-down list to select the payment method that is used by this batch type. The valid values are all payment methods that have been set up in the system with the exception of the Advance payment method. This is a required field.
If your firm receives AMEX and Visa bills in multiple billing currencies, select the bill currency that should be used to process this batch type.
Establishing a bill currency for batch types enables you to reimburse employees living in other countries in the same currency in which they are normally paid, provided that the bill currency you enter matches the pay currency of the employee being reimbursed.
The file will contain only one currency, so if your company employees workers in more than one country, you will need to establish a Batch Type for each Pay Currency.
After the transactions are imported, the batch import program uses an exchange rate to convert the bill currency into the system’s base currency.
Within Deltek Expense this provides for a transaction currency, a pay currency, and a base currency, which enables you to export whatever data is required by the ERP system based on configuration settings.
The diagram below shows the relationship between the components. The letter “A" demonstrates where an exchange rate is applied to convert the Bill Currency into the system Base Currency, while preserving the Pay Currency.
Select this check box to enable posting of incomplete credit card batches.
Enabling this feature allows valid transactions to import and post even if the batch contains incomplete transactions, for example, those lacking an employee name, ticket number, or other data.
The incomplete transactions are imported but maintained in the Batch Edit table, where administrators or accounts payable staff can later correct and post them.

Use the drop-down box to select the default wizard type that should be used for this batch type. Valid values are "Car Rental," "Entertainment," "Lodging," "Meals," "Mileage," "Other," and "Transportation."
