record.

Role required: cost_transparency_admin or cost_transparency_analyst
About this task
For example, you can take vendor ABC and associate expenses for this vendor with
another segment record, like vendor XYZ. Effectively, you are changing the value for
the Vendor field on the expenses from ABC to XYZ.
Procedure
-
Click one or more expense rows to select them.
These rows can be referred to as the source expenses.
-
Drag them onto another expense.
This row can be referred to as the destination expense.
The general ledger expense records for the source expenses are modified. The
field that is modified is the segment you are currently working with, such
as Vendor. The value for the field is changed to
whatever value that field had on the destination expense.
Note: When you merge expenses, you are only modifying the segment value,
such as the vendor or the cost center. You are not modifying the account
numbers associated with the general ledger expenses that comprise the
expense row.

To ignore a merged expense row, click the delete icon (

The expense row reappears in the list of all expenses.
