Basic Information Tab of the UDT01 Screen

Use the Basic Information tab of the UDT01 screen to enter basic information about UDT01. 

Basic Information Fields

Field Description
UDT01

Enter a 50-character, uppercase alphanumeric UDT01 code. Each code must be unique.

Note: The number of characters you enter cannot exceed the size that you set up in the Configuration screen for UDT01.
Description

Enter up to 120 characters for a UDT01 description. You should make descriptions as short as possible and properly capitalize them because they are used in drop-down boxes and as column headings for reports and inquiries.

Abbreviation

Enter a unique abbreviation for your account.  It can be up to 20 characters. If, in the General Configuration screen, you have configured the system to use abbreviations, this field is optional. If you do not enter an abbreviation here and you try to save a record, you will get a warning that says: "Account abbreviations are turned on and you have not supplied an abbreviation."

General

Field Description
Type

Use the drop-down list to select a UDT01 type. The available UDT01 types depend on what you set up in the UDT01 Types screen in the General Setup menu. The default type will be the UDT01 Type Code selected in the Defaults group box of the General Options tab of the General Configuration screen.

Active

Select this check box if the UDT01 is active. The default value for this check box is checked.

Allow Charging

Select this check box if the UDT01 should allow charging.  The default value for this check box is checked.

Interim Charge

If an employee enters a timesheet row for a UDT01 code that doesn't exist and if they have the necessary rights, they can create an interim charge for that code. When they do, a UDT01 code is created with the Interim Charge check box checked.

This interim status can be cleared in either of two ways:

  • You can display the UDT01 code in the UDT01 screen and clear the Interim Charge check box.
  • If the UDT01 code comes into Time & Expense with ESS through the import process, the Interim Charge check box is cleared automatically.

    When the interim status is cleared, all timesheets containing the charge are updated so the charge is no longer marked as an interim charge.

Line Level Approve

If your system is configured for the line level approval feature, select this check box if this UDT01 needs to be approved at the line level.

Note: Please see the Line Level Approval section in the Deltek Time Collection Getting Started Guide for more information.

If both Time and Expense are not configured for line level approval (Line Level Approval in the Miscellaneous tab is set to Disabled), this check box will be disabled. If Line Level Approval is turned on, the default value will be unchecked.

Note: To enable the line level approval feature, select either Required or Optional for Line Level Approval in the Miscellaneous tab of the Time Configuration screen or the Expense Configuration screen.
