(2022.1) Inventory - Expense GLAs

Expense GLAs

This tab is of particular importance to the User organization's financial team in that it allows Users to set GLAs for new Equipment and edit those of existing Equipment.

Equipment Expense GLA Tab

To set a Default GLA for Equipment, click the Search Icon in the 'Set Default GLA' field (see above) and select a GLA from the list. This field will add the selected GLA at 100% and will replace any 'Default' type existing GLAs in the grid above.

Managing GLA Entries

Users can also specify GLAs by clicking the Manage Entries button located on the 'Expense GLAs' tab. This will open the new 'Add New Expense GLA' form which has been simplified to a data entry table.
