4. Under the Remove Non Line Items (Meals) rule, select Function 1.
5. On the Actions library tab, expand the Validations library. Select the CheckSubFields action and then click Add to function.
6. In the Rulesets pane, select the CheckSubFields action. Then, in the Properties pane, set strParam as follows:

   'Date' AND 'Description' AND 'Cost'

7. Right-click the Clean ruleset and choose Add Rule. Rename the new rule Remove Non Line Items (Other Charges).
