Reimbursable Expense

Time & Expense calculates this amount by subtracting from the expense incurred any amount that is over the ceiling and not reimbursed and by any personal amount.

Ceiling

This is a non-editable field. It is used as the "not to exceed" ceiling for this type of expense. The system calculates it on a per-day basis, meaning that, if the expense is for three days, the system multiplies the ceiling amount by three and displays the result here.

This field is empty if there is no ceiling for this expense.

Over Ceiling

This field displays the amount of the expense that is over the company-defined ceiling amount. Whether it is reimbursed or not depends on how the expense type is configured.

Adjustment

Supervisors with rights to modify their employees' expense reports can use this field to adjust the ceiling amount up or down depending on the expense and the explanations given. For all other users, this field is non-editable.

Adjusted Ceiling

This non-editable field displays the adjusted ceiling.

Non-Reimbursable

If the amount that is over the ceiling amount is NOT reimbursed, that amount displays in this field. If the amount is under the ceiling amount or if the over ceiling amounts are reimbursed, this field will be zero.
