I was trying to get this question answered by Microsoft but was not successful so I thought I would try it here.
I see that the Starter pack includes PTE Time and Expense but I'm curious how this can be used without having project accounting which is part of the Extended pack. I have a client that is licensed for the Starter pack but doesn't want to purchase the Extended pack just to be able to process 50 employee expense reports.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks Andrea,
I was hoping to avoid having to get the Extended pack just for the purpose of setting up a project and a few cost categories for travel expense tracking but like you, I didn't know how PTE Expense could work without it. It would avoid confusion if this function was licensed under the Extended pack.
Hi Pete,
I'm so sorry to hear that! I can understand your frustration.
I can speak to core GP functionality. However, I cannot speak to starter and/or extended packs. Hopefully some others in the community can provide further insight for you there.
As far as core GP functionality is concerned: PTE (Project Time and Expense) does feed data into the Project Accounting module. As such, you do need to have Project Accounting installed in order to use PTE (whether that be via BP on older versions or within GP on newer versions).
If you are looking to record employee business expenses: GP's core Payroll module does have that ability. Employees can use ESS (Employee Self Service) to enter time cards, which flow into the Payroll Module (and then to GL). Here's some additional information about that:

Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply Andrea,
I tried operations who directed me to sales who directed me to technical support for which I would need to open and pay for a support case which I really did not want to do.
It was very frustrating so I decided to post the question on the community forum.
Hi Pete,
This is something that Sales Operations can help you with. Here's a link:
