Solution Suggestion: Setting up Fix amount depending on the dropdown list of the form field

[LovelyAsmolo]

Hi Concur,

I would like to make a solution suggestion that I think would help clients/customers. Most of the clients business requirement is to have a fix amount depending on the dropdown.

example 

One client is using a custom field expense type named "Meal" the form has dropdown list (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

The requirement is, If the Customer pick breakfast the amount should automatically set as fix amount of "100 PHP" for example. an if user pick "Lunch" then the amount will be automatically set-up as "200 PHP" 

I hope this can be include in the next Concur development. Thanks!

Hello @LovelyAsmolo 

Have you checked per diem expenses?

Hi,

Yes, I know that we can set-up Travel Allowance for the fix amount reimbursement. However, There are some business requirement that really requires a custom expense type with dropdown list and based on that dropdown list the amount will be defined.

our current work around for this is to create an audit rule that will trigger if the amount in the report is not equal to the fix amount set up in the condition. but of course it is kind-a inconvenient to the user specially if they are not aware on the amount that they should put in. they should put the exact specific amount.

Any solution for making the amount field auto-populated?
