Offline Expense Entry

Offline expense entry works just like offline timesheet entry. Users can create an offline spreadsheet to enter expenses right alongside their time, and they can re-import those expenses when they get back to the office. If you have users that are never in the office, then the administrator can create offline files on their behalf and can email them as required.

TimeExp.XML Offline Format(s)

To use offline files to enter expenses, your system needs to use an offline format that supports expense entry. You can change your offline format in the Timesheet Settings section of the Tools... System Settings... General page.

Select TimeExp.xml or the TimeExp2.xml format. Both of these offline formats have "expense entry" pages. The second one has a field for "budget item" entry, and the first one does not.
