- OVERVIEW
-
- The Travel Expense Log is used to track expenses associated with
- traveling. Up to 15 expense categories can be defined by you in
- the Set Defaults screen. You can keep track of expenses for tax
- purposes for your business or for reimbursement from your employer.
-
- The travel expenses are not included in the Cost Per Mile report.
-
-
- QUIT
-
- Press Q (or move to Quit & press Enter) to return to the Travel
- Log.
-
- ADD
-
- Press the A key to add a record. Enter the date, amount, expense
- code and any comments. Records are indexed (sorted) by the date and
- expense code field. You can enter records in any order.
-
- Valid expense codes are the letters A-O or a blank (SPACE).
-
-
- CHANGE
-
- Use this option to make corrections or to add items that were not
- included when the record was added. Position to the field you want
- to change, press Enter and make the change.
-
-
- DELETE
-
- Use this to remove a record. Deleted records will not be included
- in reports. You can not recall (undelete) a record that has been
- deleted. Deleted records are 'hidden' but remain in the file until
- it is reindexed. You should not need to delete records unless you
- added them to the wrong vehicle.
-
-
- REPORTS
-
- Expense Log reports can be created for any time period. You can
- double-space between records having different dates.
-
- Any blank or unmatched codes will total in the UNMATCHED category.
- (If you are only using codes A and B and accidentally enter a
- record with an expense code of C through O, then that record will
- be totaled into the UNMATCHED category).
-
- If you are not selecting all codes, then only blank codes will be
- totaled into the UNMATCHED categories. Selecting only certain codes
- is useful mainly in getting a listing of records with just those
- certain codes. For example, if expense code A = Business Meals,
- then you can list just the business meals by selecting just A.
-
- The default values assume that you want to list all entries and all
- Expense Codes for the selected vehicle. If you want a report that
- shows only Expense Code A, then blank out (enter a Space) all other
- expense codes. The FROM and TO dates default to the first and last
- dates.
-
- NOTE: Ctrl-End takes you to the last entry, Ctrl-Home takes you to
- the first.
-
- Printing to a file will place this report into a file named EXP.TXT
- which will be created in the Program Directory (VRS90). This option
- will allow you to import this report into a word processing or a
- spreadsheet program if those programs support ASCII files.
-
- EXAMPLE: You want to create a report showing all entries for 1989.
- To do this, change FROM to 01/01/1989 & TO to 12/31/1989.
- Press the PgDn key.
-
-
- TOTAL
-
- Pressing the T key gives you an accumulative total cost for ex-
- penses.

- FORM

- Press the F key to print a 1 page log form. You can keep this form
- in your vehicle and then, periodically, transfer the information to
- the Expense Log.
