CSU Expense Adjust

Updated on Mar 19, 2026

Overview

This job aid shows campus LCD employees how to adjust expenses.

Background

CSU Expenditure Adjustments when you need to create an after-the-fact journal correction in CHRS to keep CHRS and CFS in sync after LCD has already produced (and typically exported) the payroll accounting lines.

Before you start

Use this table to determine which type of expenditure adjustment is required:

If...	Then use...
The entire paycheck was charged wrong (or needs to be re-directed). You want to adjust all expenses tied to that paycheck: earnings and deductions and taxes, together. Typical case: funding/department/project was wrong for the paycheck as a whole.	CSU Expense Adjust – Employee
You need to move a specific accounting entry that hit a particular combo code for a pay period (more targeted than "whole paycheck"). You are redirecting the expenditure from one combo code to another combo code(s), usually tied to a specific reference/journal identifier.	CSU Expense Adjust – Combo Code
The expenditure you need to move has already been adjusted once using either: CSU Expense Adjust – Employee, or CSU Expense Adjust – Combo Code. Because those two processes can only adjust a transaction one time, Correction is how you re-adjust a prior adjustment (i.e., you're correcting the correction path).	CSU Expense Adjust Correction as the "second pass" adjustment process.
