ExpenseLine- Global

The ExpenseLine script include is used by various cost management processes and can also be used for generating expense line (fm_expense_line) records from your own server-side scripts.

This script include requires the Cost Management (com.snc.cost_management) plugin.

Parent Topic:Server API reference

ExpenseLine - ExpenseLine (GlideRecord source, Number amount, String description)

Constructor for ExpenseLine object.

//get some random CI to be used as an expense source
        var ci = new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_server");
        ci.query();
        ci.next();

        //create expense line
        var exp = new ExpenseLine(ci, 234.56, "Test expense line");

ExpenseLine - createExpense()

Creates a new expense line record.

//get some random CI to be used as an expense sourcevar ci =new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_server");
ci.query();
ci.next();

//create expense line
var exp =new ExpenseLine(ci,234.56,"Test expense line");
exp.setSummaryType("run_business");
var success = exp.createExpense();

ExpenseLine - processCIParents()

Used internally by the createExpense method to process CI relationships when the expense source is a cmdb_ci record.

ExpenseLine - setCostSource(GlideRecord costSource)

Identifies the source rate card or distribution cost that was the source of expense line generation.

This is not the source (CI, task) of the expense.

ExpenseLine - setDescription(String description)

Defines the description of an expense.

ExpenseLine - setParent(GlideRecord expense)

Sets the parent field on the expense line.

This is generally only used by the system when generating indirect expenses such as business service aggregated expenses.

ExpenseLine - setRecurring(Boolean recurring)

Flags the expense as recurring by setting the recurring field to true.

Expense lines are set to false by default so there is no need to call setRecurring(false).

ExpenseLine - setSummaryType(String summaryType)

Sets a value for the expense line summary_type field.

//get some random CI to be used as an expense sourcevar ci =new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_server");
ci.query();
ci.next();

//create expense line
var exp =new ExpenseLine(ci,234.56,"Test expense line");
exp.setSummaryType("run_business");
