-   **Description:** Name of the claim \[e.g. March expenses, Trip to Paris, etc.\].
-   **Currency:** Reference currency in which all claim reimbursements will be made.
-   **Accounting date:** Date used in the XML export for accounting purposes. If this field is not filled in, the system will use the date the expense claim was created.
-   **Receive notification on payment:** by activating this checkbox, you will receive notification when the status of the expense claim changes to "Paid".  
     

***Please note:** this is not where the expenses are entered; here you only determine the currency in which you wish to be reimbursed, and the description of the "container" of your expenses, as if you were opening a new Excel file to enter expenses.*
