List expense types by status
Lists the expense types available to the caller, filtered by active / inactive, ordered by name.
The value set for ExpenseTypeID on employee and project expenses, as the caller sees it. With the CurrencyMatrix feature on, only types of the caller's legal entity plus types shared by all legal entities (-1) are returned; without it, every legal entity's types. Paged ($pagesize 10 by default) — but TotalRecord / TotalPage over-count, so stop paging when a page has fewer than $pagesize entities.
Use it to:
- Expense-type picker in a mobile / receipt-capture client
- Mapping a receipt category or ERP cost category to a TimeLog ExpenseTypeID before creating expenses
Not for:
- Types of a specific legal entity, or with their legal entity shown —
GET /v1/expense-type/all/list
Behaviour:
- Idempotent.
- Safe to retry.
- Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
Next: POST /v1/employee-expense, POST /v1/project-expense
