Field Service Time & Expense - Version 9.05.700C

Looking for what others are doing in the way of recording expenses for any field service work without having the time & expense module.  Are you doing manual journal entries?  Reporting expenses on a job somehow?  Please chime in.  We're a bit desperate to automate this without the hefty price tag of the time & expense module. 

Thanks,
