Billing Expense Insert Dialog Box

Use the Billing Expense Insert dialog box to insert an expense transaction to the billing side of Vision that has not been costed.

If you insert a transaction through Interactive Billing, no costing entries are made to your general ledger. To later enter this information in your general ledger, you must add an expense transaction through Transaction Entry, and be sure to select the Suppress Bill option for the transaction, so that the transaction is not double-billed.

Location

To display the dialog box, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Billing > Interactive Billing.
  2. Click the Expenses tab.
  3. On the toolbar, click Insert.
