Expense codes are a means to further categorize expenses to a WBS. Expense codes are either direct or indirect; selecting a direct expense code compels an employee to associate a WBS with an expense. An indirect expense code does not require a WBS. By default, Direct and Indirect are set up in the system already. Whether employees are required to select an expense code upon expense entry is determined upon system setup. A common use of direct and indirect expense codes is to determine the percentage of the expense that is allowable and billable to clients, and the percentage that is not allowable and cannot be billed.
