AFE (Authorization for Expenditure)

The operator's internal budget approval for a project, often referenced on tickets and invoices for cost coding. Customers may require the AFE number on every document.

Why it matters before the job moves

Wrong or missing AFE coding routes your invoice to nobody's budget. It's a five-second check at ticket time and a three-week delay at billing time.
