Recharge Examples/Entry Instructions

Recharge Entries fall into 3 broad categories:  
  Direct charges - charges to a PI, Category, Account fund - Done monthly
  Deferred charges - charges that are accumulated for Services (Disk Storage, Backups, Websites, etc) paid quarterly
  Departmental charges - entries that are made to track time taken for various services that are provided by the department.  Possibly used by IT staff to make decisions

Recharge Entry Examples (each entry is expected to follow a list tag entry in the final html (ie: an asterisk in the wiki editor)):
 *NEES:20 min:Backups                         -- basic entry, NEES charged 20 minutes for backups
 *Frew:20:Backups                             -- implied units -- units default to minutes
 *Dozier:1.5h:Backups                         -- units flexible - space between amt and units optional, h is shorthand for hours, m shorthand for minutes
 *Davey/Frew/Dozier:20 min each:Backups       -- create recharge entries for this amt of time for each of the categories
 *Davey/Frew/Dozier:2 hours split:Backups     -- split time equally between each of the categories
 *eri.web:20m:Work on research website

Project examples: - ie: NEES, Snow, Oceancolor, Dragon, CCBER
Account entries can be subcategorized by creating a hierarchy using "."'s to separate fields (ie: eri.space.girvetz)

More detailed Syntax Breakdown (in pseudo BNF) :
 ENTRY = *ACCTSPEC:TIMESPEC:DESCRIPTION                         -- one entry per line
 ACCTSPEC = ACCT[[/ACCT]...]                                    -- the Account/Category/Project/CostCenter to be recharged
 TIMESPEC = AMT [UNIT [LOOP-OP]]                                -- amount of time spent - default is minutes
 ACCT = PI | Project | Account | Category [.SubCategory[...]]   -- PI/Project/Acct/Category: ie: Frew, NEES, Dragon, Infra, conf,...
 AMT = float | integer                                          -- Amount of time spent -- float or int
 UNIT = [hour|hr|h|minute|min|m]                                -- units of time to apply to amount - default is minute -- spaces optional between amt and units
 LOOP-OP = [each|split]                                         -- specialized operators - CATEGORY list is split on "/"s and an entry created for each one when processed.
