CSU Expense Adjust Decision Matrix

Overview

This job aid shows campus LCD employees how to select a procedure 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.

There are several ways to make Expenditure Adjustments. Consult the next section before you proceed.

Select the expense adjustment method

Use the following criteria to determine which expense adjustment method to use.

If:

  • 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.

See: CSU Expense Adjust - Employee

If:

  • 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.

See: CSU Expense Adjust - Combo Code

If 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).
