Yes I understand and like the reasoning behind the expense code. In fact I would like to extend that to other areas of webERP. The particular use case I have in mind here is for something like motor vehicle fuel. If for example I have one GL account for motor vehicle fuel, but a tag for each vehicle, eg T123 ABC and T987ZYX then I could get away with having the one expense code in Petty cash, and then tag the expense for each vehicle when the expenses were authorised. The only person who would see the tag would be the authoriser. Does this make any sense to you?
Thanks
Tim
Hi Tim:
The authorizer should not do anything besides ticking (or not tickining) the authorizing box. Authorizer can't decide if one expense goes to one tag or another (I guess it is the task of the admin when setting up the PC expenses). Authorizer just double checks that expenses done "make sense", have the legal receipt and then it is posted in GL.
But I do not see why authorizer should decide anything about tags. Usually it is a supervisor of a team, probably without accounting background.
Well, just my 2 cents...
