Using the Expense Entry Lightning Component

The PSA Expense Entry Lightning component enables you to submit expenses against assignments and milestones associated with projects.

Note:

The PSA Expenses - Salesforce Files Support must be enabled in the Feature Console for the Expense Entry Lightning component to work correctly. For more information, see Enabling Salesforce Files Support.

The PSA Expense Entry component is available on the Services Delivery workspace. Your administrator can also place the component on Lightning record pages and on the PSA Home page. For more information, see Services Delivery Workspace Overview and PSA Lightning Components.

This component supports dependent picklists. This enables you to input data for this component with increased accuracy. For example, selecting a primary criterion, such as a location, filters subsequent options to only relevant entries.

Note:

The dependent picklist functionality is only available for custom fields. For more information on enabling dependent picklists, see Expense Entry Lightning Component Properties.
