24 Expense Entry Mobile Applications

This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before using the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that users have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software.

The features and functionality available in the Mobile Expense Entry applications are based on the base EnterpriseOne setup of the Expense Management system. Before using these mobile applications, you must be familiar with your organization's expense policies.

For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile applications discussed in this chapter, see:


24.1 Expense Entry Mobile Applications Overview

You use the Expense Entry mobile enterprise tablet and smartphone applications to enable employees in your organization to enter, review, edit, and submit expense reports on a mobile device when they are away from the office. Managers can also use these applications to review their employees' expense reports.


Note:

Managers cannot approve expense reports using these applications. To approve expense reports, managers must use the Mobile Expense Approval applications.

See Chapter 23, "Expense Approval Mobile Applications"


The Expense Entry mobile applications give users the ability to:

  • Enter new expense reports.

    When entering new expense reports, you can:

    • Enter summary receipt expenses.

    • Enter split receipts by job cost, business unit, or work order.

    • Add corporate credit card transactions to the report.

    • Attach notes and photos of receipts or other documents to a report.

    • Enter reports that include multiple currencies.

  • Review and edit their own expense reports that are currently at an editable status.

  • Search for and review their own old expense reports.

  • Review the expense reports of their direct report employees.

This table lists the applications that are available to enter expense reports:

24.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Expense Entry Mobile Applications

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

Language Support

Additionally, you should be aware of how a user's language preference can affect the search functionality for business unit and branch/plant records. See Section 1.2.2, "Languages in Mobile Applications"

Additional Fields Tab

When entering an expense report, the Expense Entry mobile applications use the Additional tab to display the additional user-defined fields an organization sets up for expense entry and tracking. User-defined fields can be set up as optional or required, based on the organization's preferences. If any of those fields are required, you cannot save your expense report until you enter valid data in those fields.

The fields that appear on this tab are driven by the selected expense category type. If you change the category type, the fields that display on this tab change. If there are no additional user-defined fields, a message indicating that no additional fields have been set up is displayed on the Additional tab.

    Description of ''Figure 24-2 Add Basic Expense''

  8. On the Expense Detail tab, select a value from the Expense Category drop-down menu. The remaining fields on the screen are displayed and enabled based on the type of expense category you select.

    Complete all remaining required fields on the screen.

  9. Note that if you created a multi-currency report, a field is enabled next to the Expense Amount field. This field is for the currency code. If you leave this field blank, the system uses the default currency code, based on your expense system setup. Additionally, when you save the item, the system also calculates and displays the value in the Exchange Rate field. This value is also based on the setup of your expense system.

  10. If you are entering an expense that is based on a rate, such as mileage, the system retrieves the rate as it is defined in the P09E108 program. The rate setup from the P09E108 also determines whether the you can edit the rate.

  11. Select a value from the Charge To drop-down menu to specify where the expense should be charged. The value that you select in this field determines which additional fields display at the bottom of the screen. For example, if you select Business Unit, the system displays the Business Unit field to enable you to specify the business unit to which the system will charge the expense.

    Figure 24-3 Charge To Business Unit

    Description of Figure 24-3 follows
    Description of ''Figure 24-3 Charge To Business Unit''


    Note:

    You can choose to charge the expense to multiple jobs, business units, or work orders. These are called split receipt expenses. For instructions on entering these expenses, see Section 24.3.2, "Entering a Split Receipt Expense Using the Mobile Expense Entry Tablet Application"

  12. Tap the Additional tab and complete any required fields, or necessary optional fields, for your expense detail item.

24.4.3 Entering a Summary Expense Using the Mobile Expense Entry Smartphone Application (Release 9.1 Update)

You enter a summary receipt expense when you have multiple expense items on a single receipt. For example, while on a business trip, you might receive a single bill from your hotel that includes charges for your lodging and several meals. You use the summary expense process to enter these types of expenses on an expense report.

To enter a summary receipt expense, you must first create a report header. See Section 24.4.1, "Entering a Basic Expense Report Using the Mobile Expense Entry Smartphone Application" for instructions.

  1. After you have created your report header, tap the Next button in the Add Report screen.

  2. On the Add Expense screen, tap the Summary Receipt option.

  3. Enter the total value of the receipt in the Summary Receipt Total field, and then enter individual expenses.

  4. On the Add Expense screen, complete all of the necessary fields for the expense item, including any necessary fields on the Additional tab.

    To add notes, tap the Notes tab, and enter a note. Be aware that when you enter a note on either the parent or any child item for a summary expense, the note is added to the parent record for the summary receipt and is viewable from all records associated with that summary expense.

    When you have entered all necessary information, tap the Save button to add it to the report.

    When you save the expense, the system updates the Remaining Amount to Distribute field, showing you how much of the summary receipt is still awaiting distribution. The system also uses the location and payment method from the first expense item that you entered as the default values for all remaining expense items associated with that receipt.

  5. To add additional items to the summary receipt, enter expense items until the Remaining Amount to Distribute value is 0 (zero).


    Note:

    You can save the report before fully distributing the summary receipt. However, the system displays a warning in the parent summary expense record in the Expense Detail screen stating that the summary receipt is over or under allocated. Additionally, you cannot submit the report until the summary receipt is fully distributed.

  6. Tap the Done button at the top left of the screen when you are finished, the system will return to the Expense Detail screen.

  7. To return to the main Reports screen, tap the Reports button. To log out of the application, tap the Menu button at the bottom left of the screen, and then tap Logout.

To enter credit card expenses, you must first create a report header. See Section 24.4.1, "Entering a Basic Expense Report Using the Mobile Expense Entry Smartphone Application" for instructions.

  1. After you have created your report header, tap the Next button on the Add Report screen.

    If there are credit card transactions, then the system automatically takes you to the Transactions screen that shows the credit card transactions.

    You can add credit card expenses either by tapping the Add Credit Card Expense button on the Expense Detail screen or by tapping the Next button on the Add Report screen.
