Exchange Rate Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Currency
|
In this field, you can choose a currency. By also specifying an exchange rate for the selected currency in the below field “Exchange Rate,” the exchange rate specified will be used as default on mileage sheet lines in the sub-tab having the same currency as the one specified in this island. Hence, the exchange rate specified in this island will override the exchange rate usually used by Maconomy. This functionality is useful in situations in which a user needs to be able to override the existing exchange rate because the exchange rate used on, for example, a credit card transaction is different from the one specified in the exchange rate table.
|
| Exchange Rate
|
In this field, you can enter an exchange rate for the currency specified in the above field “Currency.” If you do not enter an exchange rate, Maconomy suggests the exchange rate specified for the currency in question in the window Exchange Rates. The value suggested can be changed manually. See the description of the above field “Currency” for further information on the functionality of this field.
|
Transaction Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Transaction Type
|
This is the entry's transaction type. Transaction types are set up in the Transaction Types window.
|
Job Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Job
|
In this field, you can enter the name and number of a job. When you create a line in the sub-tab, the job number will be suggested in the field “Job No.” in the sub-tab.
If the system parameter “Allow expense sheet for multiple jobs” is not marked, you can only enter the job number specified in this field in the sub-tab. In this way, it is ensured that only expenses for the specified job are approved when the mileage sheet is approved. If you do not enter a job number in this field, Maconomy automatically fills in this field with the job number specified on the first line in the sub-tab. If this system parameter is marked, you can enter any job number in the sub-tab, as the number in this field is then only a suggestion.
The effects of changing the value in this field after creating lines in the sub-tab depend on whether the system parameter “Allow expense sheet for multiple jobs” has been marked. If this parameter is not marked, changing the value in this field causes the job number on all lines to be changed accordingly. If the parameter is marked, the job number is only updated accordingly on lines where the job number corresponds to the job number present in this field before the change was made.
|
Copy Mileage Sheet Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Mileage Sheet No.
|
In this field, you can enter the number of an existing mileage sheet that you want to copy to the current mileage sheet. See the description of the action “Copy Mileage Sheet” for further information on this action.
|
| Copy All Fields
|
A check mark in this field indicates that you want to create an identical copy of the source mileage sheet lines.
It will copy the lines from an already submitted mileage sheet to the current mileage sheet. When copying, job numbers, activity numbers, and dimensions are included on the lines. All mileage sheet lines will have the current date as the Entry Date. Only the fields which are opened in the Mileage Sheets dialog sub-tab can be copied; the closed fields will keep their values.
See the description of the action “Copy Mileage Sheet” for further information on this action.

Mentor Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
