the Charge Item field.
Charge items are set up in Maintain Inventory Items. These items are

for a customer or job. Charge items are also used to record 
administrative expenses within the company and even employee out-of-
pocket expenses. Billable charge items can later be written up and 
applied to customer invoices.

internal use by your company, (for example, meals or parking expenses). 
Our example demonstrates a billable expense ticket for a job.
