How do I Adjust Paid Expenses?
Overview
Use the Adjusting Paid Expenses page to create journal expense reports to correct errors and make
adjustments to expense report payments to synchronize the expense system and general ledger. This feature
is used only on paid expense reports.
When you save a journal expense report, it is ready to post to the general ledger. The system saves only
modified expense lines. It does not pass journal expense reports to the Compass accounts payable system
because they do not have monetary amounts. Instead, you can select the Post Liabilities function on the
Expense Processes page to process the journal expense reports.
When you process the journal expense reports, the system rolls back the original accounting entries and posts
the new entries. This corrects the general ledger to reflect the same entries that exist in the expense system. If
you use Compass Commitment Control, you must run budget checking to reverse out the entries in the
Commitment Control ledgers.
Audience
Access to Expense Report Journals is limited mainly to Central Finance and designated Account Checkers.
