Expense Codes categorize the type of expenses you are incurring or consuming as you complete projects.
Some of these expenses are passed through to the customer (billable expenses) and some are just the cost of doing business, but tracking these expenses help you know if your project is on budget - Are you making money on the work you're executing?
If your first question is Do I want to use Expense Codes? The answer is no.
Expense Codes are a necessity for most teams, and most teams have codes predetermined in their accounting software already.
If this is true, export those expense codes and get them into PI all at once with the Import Expense Code option.
