3 1 Expense Application Chapter 1: How to Access the Expense Application The Deltek Expense module is a web based software that is integrated into Deltek Time Collection. The URL and login credentials for Expense are the same as for Time Collection. This website is best accessed with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Page 3

4 2 Expense Application Chapter 2: Filling out an Expense Report To access an expense report, either select on the word Expense Report on the left hand side on the navigational menu or select Expense Report on your MyMenu. To have MyExpenseReports added to your MyMenu, click on Edit MyDesktop Layout and add MyExpenseReports to your desired panel space. Page 4

5 Filling out a new Expense Report: Select New from the Options Area (i.e. the dark blue band near the top of the screen). If creating a brand new expense report, select Create New Expense Report and then select Next. Page 5

6 You can copy an existing Expense Report by selecting Copy Existing Expense Report and using the binoculars to search for the report you want to copy from and then select Next. Note: This function copies over the header information, which can be changed if needed, but does not copy over individual transactions, dollar amounts or other expense information. The next screen displayed forms the Expense Report Header. Fill out or select the following information on the Expense Report Header: Expense Report Date date you are filling out the expense report, defaults to the current date. Expense Report Type Use the drop down box to pick the correct Expense Report Type. The available Expense Report Types are described below: 1. Long Distance Travel, for reimbursement of travel expenses for a trip with a duration of more than 12 hours. This is the default Expense Report Type 2. Local Travel, for reimbursement of travel expenses for a trip with a duration of less than 12 hours 3. MILBucks, for claiming reimbursement for MILBucks rewards 4. Non-Travel Related Expenses, for reimbursement of expenses not associated with a travel claim Note: The inputs required on this page vary depending on the type of Expense Report chosen and may include: Page 6

7 Authorization Travel Authorization associated with this Expense Report (described separately in chapter 8) From First date of trip, you can change this with the calendar icon To Last date of trip, you can change this with the calendar icon. Multiple locations box that can be checked if more than one domestic (CONUS) or (International) OCONUS location is travelled to. Note: If multiple locations is checked, it will gray out the default location box and then after the Next button is selected, it will bring you to a separate screen to choose the locations and dates travelled to. Short Description and Purpose To record a brief description ( <=30 characters) and purpose ( <= 4000 characters) for this Expense Report. Default location The location chosen will determine the Per Diem rates for Meals and Incidental Expenses along with Lodging. The country will default to United States and may be changed by, if you are doing an expense report for outside the US, clicking Clear and then picking the country, state/province (if applicable) and then the locality. Once this is filled out, selecting details will give you the per diem rate for that location. Multiple Locations (optional): Page 7

8 Select Add New Location and that will bring you to the location screen to put in your dates and location. You can add as many locations as needed, however the dates can not overlap more then one day. The dates selected should be based upon which location you stayed overnight. Selecting the checkbox for frequent location will save it as a favorite and then will be there in the drop-down box that says Select Existing Location. Select OK when you are done. Selecting the Charge Allocation : The next screen will take you to the charge allocation screen, that will allow you to pick the charge number to which this Expense Report will be charged. Page 8

9 Use the binoculars to find the charge. The Charge Lookup screen will be displayed. The Charge Lookup for Deltek Expense operates much the same as it does in Time Collection. Continue drilling down into the Charge Tree branches. For billable expenses, type contract charge number to search as you do in Time Collection. Only charges for which you are authorized will be displayed. Page 9

10 Select the box next to the code you want to charge and select add to expense report. Additional charges may be added if this Expense Report is to be allocated among more than one charge code. The Default Allocation % must equal 100. Type in the % amount(s) directly into the allocation % box. Select Save to save the Expense Report header. Adding individual expense transactions is the next step. Note: once the header has been saved, the Expense Report will be available on the MyDesktop screen. It is not necessary to add all of the transactions during this logon session. Additional transactions may be added even after logging out of the system. Page 10

11 Note: Any elements underlined in the system are hyperlinked and will take you to a different place in the software. If changes to the header need to be made, select the expense report number and it will walk you through the wizard again. Once you have completed the header, it will take you to the main Expense Report screen. To continue, you need to add your individual expense transactions by category. Each Expense Report Type has its own set of categories to choose from. Examples of categories available on the Long Distance Travel Expense Report Type are: Airfare Lodging Rental Car Meals & Incidentals Mileage Details are continued in the next chapter. Page 11

12 3 Expense Application Chapter 3: Expense Report Details Entering expense transaction begins by choosing a category. In this example we will add an Airfare expense transaction. Page 12

13 Once the category has been selected, it may be necessary to select a more specific type of expense, for example: Airfare, Checked Baggage Fee, Ticket Change Fee, Travel Agent/Ticketing fee. Each category has its own set of Expense Types to choose from. For example there are different Expense Types associated with the Rental Car category. Use the drop down box to pick the Expense Type most appropriate for the transaction being entered. After selecting the appropiate category, select the Next button. In this example, use the Airfare Expense Type. Page 13

14 After selecting the Expense Type and clicking the Next button, the detail information screen will display. Each Expense Type may have its own set of required information. For example, Cabin Class is required for Airfare but not for Car Rental, Business Purpose is required for Business Meals expenses. Fill out the required information on this next screen and select the Next button. Note: Comments may be utilized to optionally add any additional information. The next screen is where the expense amount incurred is entered. In addition to the Expense incurred, choose the method that was used to pay this expense (e.g. Company Paid credit card versus Employee Paid) Please note that all company paid airfare, hotel or other travel expenses need to be included in your expense report. Page 14

15 Your next screen gives you the option to change the charge number to which this expense transaction will be coded. It will default to the charge number that you put in the header of the expense report. Page 15

16 Depending on the charge number chosen, you might have a drop down box under Charge Type, use the drop-down box to select the correct information (e.g. Billable or Overhead) and this will automatically fill out the remaining accounting distribution. If you want an expense to be charged to a different allocation, select Add Allocation. The drop-down box that says Expense Portion, will show where the Under Ceiling, Over Ceiling and Unallowable are being charged. If you need to split the allocation between charges, select Add Charge Allocation. At this screen,select the binoculars to find a new code. Page 16

17 It will add another line, then you can select the binoculars to add a charge. Note: You need to make sure the Allocation % equals 100. Select Ok to continue. Page 17

18 Once you have completed the charge allocations, select the Save button. Select Save and the application commits the transaction and returns to the Expense Report Header screen. Page 18
