Bill by Default Hierarchy for AP Expense Codes

For projects that have a regular charge type, Vantagepoint determines whether or not the project's expenses are billable by looking at the bill by default setting.

Vantagepoint checks the following locations in the order that they are listed:

  1. Expense code override table: If a project has an expense code override table entered in the Bill by Default section on the Accounting tab of the Projects hub, Vantagepoint uses the bill by default setting on the project's expense code override table. Override tables are set up in Settings > Cash Management > Expense Code Override.

  2. Project: If no expense code override table is found for the project or an expense code is not listed on an override table for a project, Vantagepoint looks at the bill by default settings for the project in the Consultants and Other Expenses fields in the Bill by Default section on the Accounting tab in the Projects hub. If the vendor's default expense code that automatically populates for the accounts payable voucher or accounts payable disbursement is a consultant expense code type, Vantagepoint looks at the Consultants field for the bill by default setting. If the expense code that automatically populates for the accounts payable voucher or accounts payable disbursement is an Other expense code type, Vantagepoint looks at the Other Expenses field for the bill by default setting.

  3. Expense code: If a project's bill by default setting in the Projects hub is Expense Code, Vantagepoint looks at the expense code's Bill by Default setting in the Categories by Expense grid in Settings > Expense > Expense Categories.
