4.1 Expense Entry

An expense is a cost incurred from work-related tasks and/or purchases (travel, meals, office supplies, etc.). Expenses may be non-billable or billable, the latter applying to expenses for a project funded by a specific client.
Users complete and submit their expense sheets to team lead, project manager, and/or clients for approval. The expense sheets are then reviewed and either approved or rejected. When the expense sheet is approved, the expense information is saved to the database.
Once an expense sheet is submitted, the data can be analyzed by project leaders and administrator to determine project costs and client billing.
