By Account Method

The By Account method calculates expense billings based on the reimbursable accounts to which the expenses are charged. Expenses are grouped by account number.

You can specify this method for consultant and/or non-consultant expenses.

You must use an Expense Accounts table or the Global Table of Accounts with this method.

Determining the Multiplier

To determine the expense multiplier, Vision follows this hierarchy:

1. If an Expense Accounts table has been established and specified for the project, and the account is listed in the table, Vision uses the account’s multiplier as specified in the table.
2. If an Expense Account table has been established and specified for the project, but the account is not listed in the table, Vision uses the multiplier specified in the Multiplier field on the Billing Terms Exp/Con/Unit tab.
3. If no expense account table has been specified for the project, Vision uses the multiplier specified in the Multiplier field on the Billing Terms Exp/Con/Unit tab.
