                     Expense Distribution Interface

The Expense Distribution Interface file is used by the Expense Interface
program to interface expense distribution records to the Lawson Employee
Expense and Accounts Payable systems. When you run EE520 (Expense Interface),
the system reads records in this file for interface into the Expense
Distribution file and, for released status expenses, into the Invoice
Distribution file.

When Distribution Interface records are successfully interfaced from the
Expense Distribution Interface file, they are purged from the interface file.
You can use EE52.2 (Distribution) to add records to the interface file or
maintain records already loaded into the file before interfacing the records.
