Contents of the Billing Expense Transfer Dialog Box
Use the fields and options to transfer expense transactions in Interactive Billing.
When you select one expense transaction on the Expense tab and then click the Transfer action, all of the fields listed below are included on the dialog box. This allows you to transfer specific detail to a different project or within the same project.
When you select more than one expense transaction to transfer at a time, each transaction is transferred in its entirety to another project, so only the Project, Phase, Task, and Diary fields display on this dialog box.

The following applies if the expense item is a reimbursable or consultant expense that was generated from a voucher that you created using the Create Voucher from PO application and you selected the Show Purchase Order Line Item Detail check box in the Expense Terms or Consultant Terms sections on the Expenses/Units tab in Billing Terms for the project:
|
Quantity | This field displays if both of the following are true:
The quantity in this field prefills from the purchase order. You can change the quantity for billing purposes, which will not impact the voucher or purchase order. Vantagepoint recalculates the amount in the Amount field based on the entries in the Quantity and Unit Price fields. If you delete the number in the Quantity field, leaving it blank, the Amount field becomes editable. This allows you to transfer an amount only, while leaving the quantity unchanged. After you click OK, the original quantity redisplays in the Quantity field. |
Unit Price | This field displays if both of the following are true:
This field displays the unit price for the expense item from the purchase order, which you cannot change. If you transfer an expense amount without transferring any units, the unit price is recalculated. |

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or for the group of transactions, if you are processing a group of transactions. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions. The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type. The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that either have the same fiscal period or fiscal year for which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, the Diary field drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions. You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction. |
