Allow Charging

Select this check box to allow charging on the UDT02

Interim Charge

If employees enter a timesheet row for a UDT02 code that doesn't exist (and they have the necessary rights), they can create an interim charge for that code. When they do, a UDT02 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 UDT02 code in the UDT02 screen and clear the Interim Charge check box.
  • If the UDT02 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 UDT02 needs to be approved at the line level for either Deltek Time Collection or Deltek Expense. Please see the Line Level Approval section in the Deltek Time Collection Getting Started Guide for more information.

If both Deltek Time and Deltek Expense are not configured for line level approval (the Line Level Approval drop-down box in the Miscellaneous tab is set to Disabled), this check box is disabled.

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.
