    Description

    Expense Assistant using this method:

    If used, the Expense Assistant feature is enabled for you. Your company may provide you with none, one or two options.

    If you chose to use the calendar-based option, By Month, Expense Assistant adds all expenses in your Available Expenses list to any open expense claim. An open claim can be a user-created expense claim or an expense claim auto-created by Expense Assistant. Expense Assistant continues to add all new incoming expenses that have a date that matches the calendar month of the expense claim to that expense claim.

    If you chose to use the trip-based option, By Trip, Expense Assistant creates an itinerary on the day your flight is ticketed and then adds all expenses in your Available Expenses list if those expenses have dates that correspond to your trip itinerary. On the date your trip begins, if this claim is now closed or if your trip did not have a flight to trigger the automatic creations of an expense claim, the start of the trip triggers the automatic creation of an expense claim. Expense Assistant continues to add all new incoming expenses that have a date that matches your itinerary to that expense claim.
