Screen Fields

Field Description
Action

Use the drop-down list to select the action that you want to perform. The available options are:

  • Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed
  • Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances

The default value is Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed.

Batch ID

How this field works depends on the option you select for the Action drop-down list. If you select Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed, this displays as an edit field. If you select Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances, this field displays as a lookup.

If this field is editable, you need to supply the batch ID that is used to update the expense report records. In this case, the Batch ID field is required and must be unique; otherwise, the system displays the error messages: "Batch ID is required" or "Batch ID has already been used. Please enter a different one."

If you select Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances, this field displays as a drop-down list where you need to select the batch ID to specify the expense reports for which the statuses is set to Approved. The available options are those batch IDs that have been assigned to processed expense reports. The default value for the drop-down list is Select.

Function

The availability of this field depends on your selection in the Action drop-down list. If you selected Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances, this field is disabled. If you selected Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed, use to select the function of the supervisor/administrator. The available selections depend on the rights that you have as a supervisor in the system. If you have more than one functional role in the system, the default is Select. If you have just one functional role, it will be the default.

Your selection determines which groups display in the group list. For example, if you have a primary supervisor function set up in your Manage Functional Roles screen and select Primary Supervisor, the groups to which you have primary supervisory rights displays in the group list.

Attention: Please see the Manage Functional Roles section of the Deltek Expense Getting Started Guide for more information.
Group Criteria

If you select Un-Mark Processed Expense Reports/Advances, this table is disabled. If you choose Mark Expense Reports/Advances Processed, select the group(s) whose employee expense reports you want to include. The list displays in alphabetical order.

If you have not selected at least one option in the Group field when you select Refresh Group, the system displays the following error message: "At least one Employee Group needs to be selected."
