If your administrator has allowed you to enter expenses against tasks, the Task drop-down list will display on your expense sheet.

Reimburse |
If you are requesting reimbursement of the expense amounts, select this checkbox. |

Quantity |
For an expense type like Mileage, enter the kilometers or miles in the Quantity field displayed. The system automatically applies the rates specified for that expense type to calculate the total amount. If this column is not enabled by you or your administrator, then when you select Mileage, the Expense Details dialog box appears automatically with the Quantity field. |

For an expense type like Mileage, this column displays the rate specified by your administrator. If desired, administrators can allow you to override the rate specified for that expense type. |

Amount |
This is the total expense amount for an expense type. If your administrator has set up tax rates for certain expense types, these tax rates automatically apply to the value entered in this field. If you enter a value for a taxable expense type in the Net Amount field, the system automatically applies the tax rates to that amount and displays the total in the Amount field. You may be allowed to edit the tax rate displayed based on your requirements. |

Exchange Rate |
For an expense amount, you don’t need to enter the exchange rate if you select a currency different than the Reimbursement Currency. The system applies the default exchange rate for the currencies. You might be able to override the predefined exchange rate. |
