Create a miscellaneous fee code

Create reusable fee codes that support miscellaneous charges outside standard time and expense billing

A Miscellaneous Fee Code identifies a type of fee that can be added to an assignment outside of standard Time & Expense billing. Miscellaneous Fee Codes provide the foundation for Miscellaneous Fee Definitions and assignment-level miscellaneous fee transactions.
