Add Meals category to Expenses

Current expense categories (Reimbursement Mode) include Mileage, Entertainment and Expense. A Meals category is also useful because, like Entertainment, Meals have different audit standards. it would be helpful to have a Meals category that would:

  1. allow you to list attendees and purpose of meeting

  2. when charging to overhead and not to a job, allow you to restrict GL options to meals expense accounts only.


PS. restricting the entertainment category to entertainment GLs only would also be helpful.

    Would also be helpful if you could force completion of meal/entertainment additional information when certain GL or Phase Codes selected for expense
