Page 295: Appendix B Creating A Custom Expense Report
Before creating or modifying an Expense template, it’s important to understand the function of Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop’s Expense application. In simple terms, the Expense application is designed to move Expense data from your SPT 1700 terminal into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Page 296: Customizing Existing Sample Templates
Customizing Existing Sample Templates Four sample Expense Report templates come with the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop. These templates are stored in the Templates folder (which is in the same folder as the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop application). If the layout of one (or more) of these templates is appropriate for your reporting needs, you can easily customize the templates with your company name and other information.
Page 297 4. Choose Save As from the File menu to open the Save As dialog. 5. Click the Save as type drop-down list and choose Template (*.xlt). 6. Navigate to the Templates folder (in the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop directory). Note: If you do not need to change the Maptable.xls file, save the template file with its original file name (e.g., Sample2.xlt).
Page 298: Determining The Layout Of The Expense Report
SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Guide Determining the Layout of the Expense Report This section describes the layout considerations for the Expense Report and explains the terms used for creating the report. Labels There are two kinds of labels you need to define for your report: day/date and expense type.
Page 299: Analyzing Your Custom Expense Report
Creating a Custom Expense Report Section 1 (not prepaid) Section 2 (prepaid) Section 3 Because your Expense data maps to row and column areas of your final report, different Sections require different definitions for the data mapping. To create additional Sections with different mapping, create corresponding additional lines to the mapping table file named Maptable.xls.
Page 300: Programming The Mapping Table
Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for rows and each Section can have only one kind for columns. Place a copy of your custom Expense Report in the Templates folder (in the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop directory). Change the file name so it has the file extension.xlt (which defines it as a Microsoft Excel Template).
Page 301 Creating a Custom Expense Report All rows associated with template are selected 4. Choose Copy from the Edit menu. 5. Scroll down to a blank area of the Maptable.xls file (below the rows used for Sample4.xlt), and click on a row number to select a blank row. 6.
Page 302 SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Guide You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number of rows corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom Expense Report. To clear all of the existing settings in a row, click to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each row to correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.
Page 303 Creating a Custom Expense Report In the Date cell, enter the row or column number where all the date information will be placed. In the Dates cell, enter the number of blank columns (or rows) separating the date fields. If there are no blank columns (or rows) between date entries, leave this number set to zero.
Page 304: Using Applications Other Than Microsoft Excel
SPT 1700 Series 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.
