The Expenses module  in bxp jargon is the logging of costs incurred as part of the delivery or a project. An expense is logged to an individual and requires that individual to be reimbursed by the business.

Expenses are associated with a project.

Expense items include entries such as mileage, subsistence and operational day to day costs of smaller one off purchases for the business.

Expenses will also support an administrator approval engine

The Purchase Order (PO) Management  module allows for the management of Purchase Order requests, approvals and tracking. Where significant purchases are to be made by a business a purchase order management approach allows for sense checking of purchases by management.

The module is in concept stage and is being worked through with a client to deliver specific requirements.

The primary challenge in the development of this module is the development and application of the resource allocation algorithms
