===== Why can't I find an expense item or employee type on the drop down list? =====

Four possibilities exist:

  - You may have forgotten to create the expense item. Press Assumptions/Costs/Other Expenses, and add a new expense item that you want to use to drive sales.\\ \\
  - You may have forgotten to create the employee type. Press Assumptions/Revenue/Personnel, and add a new employee type that you want to use to drive sales.\\ \\
  - You may have included the expense item but failed to allocate it to marketing and sales. Press Assumptions/Costs/Other Expenses; select either 'billed to M&S' or 'per M&S employee.'\\ \\
  - You may have included the employee type but failed to allocate it to marketing and sales. Press Assumptions/Costs/Personnel/Employees; select the employee type in question; change the 'Salary Charged to' field to 'Marketing and Sales.'
