Payment Method

This field specifies the payment method for the expense line item.  

The available values for this field are managed on the Admin >> Setup >> Payment Method screen.  

• Only those values that are designated as Active and Allowed on Expense Reports will be included.  
• Depending on the current user's classification, certain payment methods may not be available (that is, payment methods can be configured to allow / prevent use for non-employees).
• Whether the value in this field is to be included in the Reimbursement Total is also a configurable option per Payment Method.

When entering an expense report line item having an expense type of Advance or Cash-Return, the payment method specified should be configured as reimbursable (as these values should always result in a modification of the amount due the employee rather than the accrual of another expense payable by the company).

Each user can control which Payment Method will be selected by default via their User Preference (Expense tab) screen (by setting the default preferred payment method).
