                           Expense Interface

The Expense Interface file is used by the Expense Interface program to
interface employee expense records from a desktop application or a non-Lawson
system to the Lawson Employee Expense system. When you run EE520 (Expense
Interface), the system reads records in this file for interface into the
Employee Expense file and, for released status expenses, into the Accounts
Payable Invoice file.

When the Expense Interface file records are successfully interfaced, they are
purged from this file. You can use EE52.1 (Expense Update) to add records to
this file or maintain records already loaded into this file before interfacing
the records.

Expense records with an open status must have one or more corresponding
records in the Expense Distribution Interface file.
