Distribute an expense

Completed

When you enter expenses on an expense report, you can distribute the expense across multiple projects, financial dimensions, or accounts in your organization.

For example, consider a scenario where a sales representative traveled from London, England to Columbus, Ohio. In Columbus, the sales representative met with two organizations to discuss separate projects for each organization. The sales representative spent three business days working with organization A on project A, and three business days working with organization B on project B.

Because the representative worked on two separate projects when in Columbus, the expenses must be distributed as appropriate for each project.
