Distributing Transaction Lines in Expense Reports

When distributing transaction lines in an expense report, you have the option to use a distribution template for easier distribution calculation.

Only users assigned with Custom CFO and Custom A/P Clerk roles can distribute lines and apply distribution templates to expense reports.
