The listed project expenses are automatically selected and can be deselected as needed. By clicking IGNORE, the selected expenses are ignored and disappear from the table. By clicking TRANSFER, the selected expenses are transferred to the financial system, including an image of the expense voucher.
If a project expense lacks a financial account on the expense type, it will not transfer to the financial system.
The integration log report shows the transfer status for the individual project expenses.
To see the financial system’s expense number for the transferred project expenses in the table, select the view option “Show previously transferred expenses only” and click SHOW. The financial system’s expense number will then appear in the far-right Expense no. column.
If you want to see the ignored project expenses, select the display option “Show ignored expenses only” and click SHOW. The listed project expenses can then be transferred to the financial system.
Save current filer
You have the option to save your personal filter selection, so you don’t have to choose the different options each time you transfer project expenses.
Click the small arrow next to the SHOW button and click + Save current filter. Enter a descriptive filter name and click SAVE.
If you have several saved filter selections, are you able to choose the desired filter name via the small arrow next to the SHOW button.
To set a personal filter selection as the default, go to Page Settings and select the saved filter name. TimeLog will then save the filter automatically. To ensure TimeLog uses the default filter the next time you open "Transfer expenses to finance system," check the “Load data automatically” option. This will enable TimeLog to display the export table with expenses that match the saved filter.
