Copying Expense Lines in an Expense Report

   Overview   

If you incur a repeating expense during your travel (ex. meals across several days), the system will allow you to multiple expense lines and change their date(s). This is helpful because it helps you avoid having to manually input the nearly identical expenses for each date they were incurred.

This article will show you the steps to copy multiple expenses within an expense report.
