Expense Report Detail Dialog Boxes

Four Detail dialog boxes are available for use in the Expense Report application: General Detail, Business Meals Detail, Travel/Mileage Detail, and No Detail. When you select the Detail option for an expense item on the Expense Report form, one of these detail boxes displays.

If you are not using expense categories, the General Detail dialog box always displays. If you are using expense categories, your system administrator determines which dialog box displays for each category.
