Registering your software 6 Using the Guided Setup to setup a new file and register ExpensAble When you start ExpensAble for the first time, Guided Setup leads you through a quick interview to help you setup your file and to register ExpensAble.

Introduction to ExpensAble envelopes, folders and reports The majority of ExpensAble users keep all their expense report envelopes in one or two files. Within a file, you can create folders to organize envelopes into meaningful groups and eliminate clutter on your screen. All expense report envelopes in the same file use the same expense report template—even if the envelopes are in different folders. The first time you start ExpensAble, you’ll spend a few moments setting up your file. After that, you’re ready to create your first expense report envelope. An ExpensAble envelope contains all the expense information you need for a single expense report. Every time you have a new expense report to do, you create a new envelope in your file. A file contains a collection of expense report envelopes and folders. Most people keep all their envelopes and folders in one file. The Folders List helps you organize your expense reports and templates, reducing the clutter on your screen. Folders can contain envelopes, but cannot contain other folders. Expense report envelopes contain information about a single expense report. The Shortcuts List allows you to move easily between your various expense envelopes and more. This intelligent navigation feature displays your recent activities, such as recent envelopes, memorized reports, frequent templates, and credit card envelopes. An expense report template determines the layout and organization of your expense report. For more information, see “Selecting a report template” on page 32. If you want to begin entering expenses, see Chapter 2, Entering expenses, on page 11. If you want to choose a form to use as your expense report template, see Chapter 3, Creating reports, on page 31. Exiting ExpensAble From the File menu, choose Exit.

Personal (P) means the expense was not a business expense and you are responsible for its payment. These might be expenses such as extended hotel stay or car rental (for personal purposes) that you paid for, or that you owe your company for. 18 • UsersGuide.book Page 19 Monday, November 8, 2010 9:30 AM • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Field Description Billable Flags the expense entry transaction as one that is billable.

Spreading a transaction across several days You can divide an expense over any number of days (up to one month). When you need to report a transaction that spans two or more days, you can enter the transaction once and let ExpensAble break out the daily charges for you. For example, car rental is typically charged by the day, but billed only once. To reflect your daily expenses accurately, you need ExpensAble to divide the total amount so that a portion of the bill is charged each day. 1 In the Expense Log, select the transaction you want to divide. 2 From the Edit menu, choose Divide Expense Across Days. 3 Enter the beginning and ending dates for the transaction, and click OK. Tip: Use the “+” and “-” keys to enter the date for the next or previous day. 4 To enter the divided transaction in the Expense Log, click Enter. In the Expense Log, an ellipsis (...) in the Date column for the transaction indicates it has been divided. When you preview the report, you see the total expense spread over several days. Splitting transactions If your company requires you to itemize expenses on a hotel bill, use the Hotel Genie. You may want to enter split or itemized transactions if: • You need to divide a single expense between more than one client or department. • You want to assign a portion of a transaction amount as Non-Reimbursable or Personal. 1 Select the transaction you want to split, or click the new transaction line. 2 In the Expense Record, click the Split button. After you add an item, the Amount field in the Split Expense Record shows the outstanding balance. For each item, identify whether you’ll be repaid.

When you create an analysis report, you can choose what information to include in your analysis and how that information is presented. You can also choose which of the envelopes in your file you want included in the analysis report. ExpensAble creates analysis reports based on: If you have expenses for several clients in the same expense report, you might want an allocation report that creates a separate expense report for each client. To do this, select the “When printing, separate each billable” option at the Envelope Info window.

You won't see this work until you already have a few transactions in the register. For example, when you select the "Airfare" expense type, ExpensAble can complete much of the remaining expense information. "Airfare," the amount, payment method, airline, and the date from your last airfare expense are filled in for you. Press Tab to duplicate the whole transaction, and then change the amount if necessary. Auto Lists, created by Auto Fill When you begin typing the first letters in a field or drop-down list, Auto Fill finishes typing the item for you, automatically completing the entry, thereby creating Auto Lists. Press Tab to accept it and move on to the next field. For example, if you type "Ch" in the Payment Method field, ExpensAble enters "Checking" for you. If the first few characters you type match the beginning of more than one item in a drop-down list, Auto Fill enters the first list item that matches. Keep typing until Auto Fill enters the correct item. Then press Tab to accept the entry. To take the most advantage of ExpensAble's Auto Fill feature, complete every field for the first few transactions of each envelope. Auto Fill is most useful when it has information to recall from the first few transactions. 47 UsersGuide.book Page 48 Monday, November 8, 2010 9:30 AM • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • To customize how you want Auto Fill to work for you, edit your Program Options: 1 From the Edit menu, choose Program Options. 2 Click Enter Expenses. 3 Click the Help button for details on each option in the Auto Fill section. 4 Click OK to save your options. Changing ExpensAble lists You can customize the drop-down lists by adding items you use frequently. You can also rename items to suit your needs, and change information associated with a list item. You can customize any of these drop-down lists: • Expense Types • Payment Methods • Guests (for meals and entertainment) • Purposes (for meals and entertainment) • Cities • Billables and Departments • Cost Center Items • Payees • Currencies • Merchants • Mileage • Reasons (for trip) • Vehicle ID Important: When you make changes to most of the drop-down lists, the changes take effect in the current expense report envelope and in all future envelopes in the current file. Changing the Expense Types list 48 The Expense Types drop-down list shows the expense types you can choose from when you enter transactions. The list includes some fixed expense types that are always present in the list. Fixed expense types are expense types required by ExpensAble. They include Airfare, Mileage, and Breakfast to name a few. You can change the name of a fixed expense type, but you cannot delete a fixed expense type or add a new one to the Expense Types list. UsersGuide.book Page 49 Monday, November 8, 2010 9:30 AM • • • • • • • • • • For a list of the fixed expenses used by ExpensAble, see onscreen Help. Press F1, click Index, and select the keyword fixed expenses. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Customize the Expense Types list by adding new expense types or by editing the names of existing expense types. Add a new expense type if you need more detailed information for an analysis report. For example, to gather information about your company’s local and long distance calling expenses, you could add “Local” and “Long Distance” as expense types on the Expense Types list. Then create an analysis report that showed a breakdown of the various telephone expenses. Edit an expense type when you want to use a more familiar name for an expense, such as “Phone” instead of “Telephone.” Delete expense types that you have added, but you cannot delete fixed expense types. You’ll notice that not all the items in the Expense Types list are listed in the printed expense report. On the printed report, ExpensAble often groups similar expense types under one label. For example, the expense types Cellular Phone, Fax, Modem, and Local Service might all be grouped under the report label Phone. The expense report template you choose determines which expense types are in the expense report. Note: When you make changes to the drop-down Expense Types list, don’t assume that those same changes have been made to the report labels on the printed expense report. The items in the Expense Types list (called expense types) are not the same as the items in the printed expense report (called labels), even though they may have the same name. For information on changing the label names for a printed report, see “Changing labels for an expense report template” on page 33. When you add an expense type to the Expense Types list, you specify under which report label you want the new expense type to be grouped. You also specify the Merchant Type, so that ExpensAble can assign the correct Merchant drop-down list to the new expense type. Adding an expense type Use these steps to add an expense type to the drop-down Expense Types list. You can also add an expense type on-the-fly just by typing a new name in the Expense Type field in the Expense Record. 1 From the Lists menu, choose Expense Types.

You can open a QEX archive file just as you would any other QEX file. QEX files can be opened only by ExpensAble. Merging files You can move selected envelopes and folders to another ExpensAble file by archiving them. You generally archive envelopes that have been paid in full so they are out of your way.

To make a copy of your entire ExpensAble file for safekeeping, see “Backing up and restoring files” on page 71. If you have data from files in different locations that you want to consolidate into a single file, you can merge the files. For example, if you started your expense report while you were on the road, and then wanted to move that expense report envelope from your laptop to your desktop computer, you can copy the file on your laptop to a disk and then merge the file (and its envelopes) with the file on your desktop computer. You might also merge files if you’re collecting expense reports from several sources (for example, E-mail, floppy disks or shared network directories) into a single file. 1 Open the file you want to merge data into. This is usually a file on your desktop computer. 2 From the File menu, choose Merge. Important: When you merge files, the file you’re merging uses the expense report template and the User Info from the file you’re merging to. 64 • 3 Select the file to merge, and then click OK. This is usually the file on a floppy disk, from E-mail, on the network, and so on. The file you merge must be either a QEX or QEM file.

Exporting transactions to QuickBooks You can export transactions to QuickBooks in three ways, depending upon how you use ExpensAble: For ExpensAble Enterprise subscribers As an ExpensAble subscriber to ExpensAble Enterprise, you can create business transactions, submit them to ExpensAble Enterprise, and send directly to QuickBooks from within ExpensAble Enterprise. Only the Accountant user can send to QuickBooks 2003 or above using the ExpensAble Enterprise integration or create IIF files from within ExpensAble Enterprise. See “Exporting transactions to QuickBooks for subscribing users” on page 83. For users not subscribed to ExpensAble Enterprise If you use QuickBooks® Pro 2003 Enterprise, Accountant, or Canadian Editions, you can send your expense reports seamlessly to QuickBooks, creating a Vendor Bill or Credit. See “Create QuickBooks vendor bills and credits from your expense reports” on page 83. If you use QuickBooks 2002 Basic or earlier, you can export ExpensAble transactions to the QuickBooks IIF format to track your business expenses. You can create business transactions, save them as an IIF file and export this file to QuickBooks (see “Exporting transactions to QuickBooks for non-subscribing users”, next). 80 UsersGuide.book Page 81 Monday, November 8, 2010 9:30 AM • • • • • • • • • Exporting transactions to QuickBooks for nonsubscribing users • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • If you use QuickBooks 2002 Basic or earlier, you can copy all employee-paid (not company-paid) reimbursable transactions to an external IIF format accounting package such as QuickBooks without re-entering any data. All expenses for an individual employee appear as one reimbursement transaction. Note: You should set your export labels to map to the chart of accounts in your accounting package. Exporting inserts the employee name into the vendor QuickBooks field. The exported transactions must be in envelopes that have an Employee Name (from the Edit menu, choose User Info). Cash advances are sent to an asset account named “Employee Advances.” 1 Open ExpensAble. 2 From the File menu, choose Export and then IIF. 3 Select the envelopes you want to export. 4 Click the Export Options tab and set options. 5 Enter the IIF account name. Make sure this account name corresponds to the Accounts Payable name in QuickBooks into which you want to import the batch files. The account name can be up to thirty characters in length. You can use all special characters except for single and double quotation marks. If you have account numbering turned on in QuickBooks, make sure you don't add the QuickBooks number to the name in the IIF Account Name field. If you are billing a particular client, ExpensAble exports that information with the expenses into the customer:job field in QuickBooks.

ExpensAble exports the envelope contents to an IIF file. ExpensAble exports all expenses as one IIF transaction having several split lines, which reduces the number of entries in your accounting software. The single IIF transaction will have one TRNS line representing the amount reimbursed and several split (SPL) lines representing individual ExpensAble transactions. The date of an exported transaction is in mm/dd/yy format, regardless of your settings in ExpensAble. Exporting assigns the envelope date to the transaction, regardless of individual expense dates in the transaction. You can’t import into a QuickBooks asset account or as a deposit into a QuickBooks bank account. Note: You will also need to assign special labeling to your expense types for export to QuickBooks, which is done in the Export Label Options window. Assigning Labels to Expense Types for Export To QuickBooks You should select an existing report label, or assign a sublabel, for the expense type if you'll be transferring envelopes to Excel, exporting IIF files to QuickBooks or other applications, or exporting to ASCII files. Why assign a special label for exporting? When you preview or print expense report envelopes in ExpensAble, all related expense types appear under their assigned report label. But when you transfer envelopes to an Excel spreadsheet or export envelopes to an ASCII file or IIF file, the report label assignments no longer apply.

Exporting transactions to QuickBooks for subscribing users If you subscribe to ExpensAble Enterprise, you can create business transactions in ExpensAble, submit them to ExpensAble Enterprise, and then decide to create an IIF file of these business transactions from within ExpensAble Enterprise for export to QuickBooks, or send directly to QuickBooks 2003 Pro or above using the ExpensAble Enterprise integration. Note: Only an ExpensAble Enterprise user with Accountant privileges can create an IIF file to export to QuickBooks, or send using the QuickBooks 2003 Pro integration. For information on how to prepare your submitted ExpensAble Enterprise business transactions and send using the QuickBooks Pro 2003 integration, or create an IIF file of them to export to QuickBooks, see the online help for ExpensAble Enterprise. Create QuickBooks vendor bills and credits from your expense reports If you use QuickBooks® Pro 2003, Enterprise, Accountant, or Canadian Edition, you can send your expense reports directly into QuickBooks, creating a QuickBooks Vendor Bill (or Credit) from the current ExpensAble expense envelope. After you map your Expense Types’ Export Labels to the QuickBooks expense accounts, ExpensAble can send all the expenses in the current envelope to QuickBooks, which then creates the Vendor Bill or Credit. In addition to sending Reimbursable expenses to QuickBooks, you may also send any Company Paid (Non-Reimbursable) expenses, including cash advances. ExpensAble sends Non-Reimbursable expenses as QuickBooks journal entries and company paid credit card charges. If you are using ExpensAble with QuickBooks for the first time, we recommend using the QuickBooks Guided Setup to configure your company’s QuickBooks settings.

Instead, you must merge the file into a new or existing ExpensAble file. For more information, see “Merging files” on page 64. For example, to transfer an expense report from your laptop to your desktop computer, export your expense report envelope to the more compact QEM format. Because a QEM file contains no formatting information, it takes up less room. This means it can be more easily transferred to a floppy disk, between computers, or even over E-mail. When you merge an expense report in a QEM format into an ExpensAble file, the expense report automatically uses the same report template used by the other expense reports in the file. For information about the file format for ASCII files, see onscreen Help. Press F1, click Index, and then select the keyword ASCII. • If you want to include expense report information in another application, you can export individual transaction data or summary data to an ASCII format. • For example, to use individual transaction data in a spreadsheet or database, export the transaction details from an expense report to an ASCII file. To include just the highlights of an expense report in a word processing document, export the summary data from an expense report to an ASCII file. Exported ASCII files have a .QET extension. 1 From the File menu, choose Export, and then choose what you want to export. For more information about each export option, see onscreen Help. Press F1, or click the help button in the export windows. • Choose Envelope to export expense reports to a .QEM format. • To export transaction details from a single envelope to an ASCII format, choose ASCII and then choose Transaction ASCII. • To export summary data from a single envelope to an ASCII format, choose ASCII and then choose Summary ASCII. • Choose XML to export an expense report in XML format. • Choose PDF to export an expense report in PDF format. • Choose IIF to copy expenses into QuickBooks.
