Delete Click this button to delete the amount entered in the Amount field for the transaction and not bill this portion of the transaction on any billing invoice.

You are returned to the Expense tab of the Interactive Billing form, where you see the following:

  • If you did not change the prefilled amount for the transaction, the transaction displays in the Expenses grid with its original amount and its status changed to Delete. The entire transaction will be deleted and not billed.
  • If you entered a portion of the amount to delete, the original transaction is split in two. One transaction displays in the Expenses grid with a Delete status and shows the amount to delete. The original transaction with its original status displays in the grid, with its amount reduced to reflect the deleted hours.

When you change a transaction's status to Delete, it is removed from the set of billable transactions on the Expense tab when the next invoice is final accepted. The transaction is not deleted from the Vantagepoint database. It still exists as posted for project control and other accounting purposes. This allows you to run reports that distinguish between write-off transactions (amounts charged that cannot be billed) and transactions that were entered but removed before invoicing, possibly due to a data entry error.

Cancel Click this button to return to the Expense tab without deleting any of the transactions. The transaction remains in the grid on the Expenses tab, with its original status.
