Booked or claimed expenses are classified to a customer, project and task combination, or to a department for costing and optionally for billing purposes. Employees and consultants can only book expenses to a task which allows expenses (by task type), to which the employee is assigned as a resource and where the task planned start date is prior to the date the expense was incurred. The claim date on the expense report header is not checked, so if you are for example booking flights three weeks ahead of a client on-site task and need to claim for that flight ahead of time, claim an expense with the date the flight was purchased as the expense claim header date and the date the flight actually takes place as the expense item “incurred on” date. iBE has also been enhanced to allow flights or other expenses to be booked as “incurring” up to one week ahea of the task’s planned start date, for example to account to flights or hotel accommodation prior to the start of an on-site task
