When we run reports on expenses, our reports often come up blank. Why is this?

The most common mistake here is that people pull in “ODC Expense” rather than “Other Direct Cost”. ODC expense generally is only generated when expenses are written down and represents the amount that the organization is “eating”. ODC, on the other hand, represents how much the organization has disbursed. The other flavors of ODC are ODC revenue and ODC client (the amount being charged to the client).
