Ceiling Adjustment Explanation Dialog Box

If you update the ceiling amount for a lodging expense on the Amounts tab, you must enter an explanation.

If an expense type is configured to calculate the ceiling amount per-day, and if you are authorized to modify the ceiling amount of an expense, the Ceiling field on the Amounts tab is editable. When you enter a new ceiling amount, the Adjustment Explanation dialog box displays.

Note: Ceiling calculations for an expense type are configured from the Ceiling calculation based on field on the Basic Information tab of the Expense > Settings > Expense Types screen.
