Non-Reimbursable option in expense report

Question

There is a line-level checkbox in the Expense reports to make the expense amount in that line Non-reimbursable. The checkbox name is ‘Non Reimbursable’. But this field is not available in the form; the related preference is also missing on the ‘Accounting Preferences’ page(in the ‘Tine and Expenses’ section).

I found the below comments

After following guidelines in SuiteAnswer 77538, Allow Non-reimbursable Expense is still not available in Setup > Accounting > Preferences > Accounting Preferences (Administrator).

If user did not use non-reimbursable expenses prior to NetSuite 18.2, they are no longer available. Otherwise, it will be available in the succeeding versions.

I am using a new and fresh NetSuite account.

Does it mean that we will not be able to create a non-reimbursable expense report or is there any other way to record project expenses from the employee but not give reimbursement to the employee as it is non-reimbursable?

Answer

As per checking, the alternate solution is to use Corporate Card field instead which was released in 18.2 to replace the non-reimbursable functionality.
