SPT 1500 Product Reference Guide

For these settings, simply enter the row or column number for the expense types that you
want to appear in the Section. Note that the same row or column number can be used
more than once. An example of this would be meals that encompass breakfast, lunch,
dinner and snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be populated into
row/column 4 of the custom Expense Report.

15. Complete the table. All of the remaining columns (49–57) in the table are used to

define the column or row number that corresponds to the description.

16. Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column). If a row in the map table is

for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a “yes” in the cell on that Section’s row.
Type “no” in all the cells of this column that do not pertain to prepaid expenses.

17. Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section that you have defined for your custom

Expense Report.

18. Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense Report

Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for the header on your
expense report. Use this section to specify the row and column on your template
where this information will be mapped.

Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you have to fill in only one
row. If the item does not appear on your template, leave these cells blank.

Using Applications Other Than Microsoft Excel

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to
open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer. The data file is named
“Expense.txt,” and is stored in the Expense folder, within the folder containing the SPT 1500
terminal user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.
