T&E Date vs Receipt Date
Accorto distinguishes the Time+Expense Date and the actual Receipt date.
By default, the T+E Date defaults to the Receipt date.
When creating the T+E Report, the default is date is the last item Receipt Date. By default, the item date defaults to the receipt date.
With the Custom Setting "Expense Report Date" you can determine the Report Date as well as the item T&E Date (the receipt date remains unchanged):
- If empty or "last" the last receipt date is used,
- if "first", the first receipt date is used,
- if "today" or "submit" the current date is used.
Note that the T&E Date First and Last are based on the Expense Date for expenses. The T&E Pdf Reports show the T&E Date First.
Expense Cut-off Date
By default, there are no restrictions for submitting Expense reports.
When you define Payroll Processor(s), you can set a T+E Close Date - i.e. people cannot submit Time and Expenses only after that date.
When you close a Payroll Period, the Payroll Processor T+E Auto Close is automatically updated.
You can distinguish Time and Expense Reports and define an Expense Close date for Expense reports only.
The cut-off is based on the T&E Date, not the Receipt date.
