CSU Expense Adjust - Correction

Updated on

Overview

This job aid shows campus Labor Cost Distribution (LCD) employees how to correct an expense that was previously adjusted in CHRS.

Background

Use CSU Expense Adjust Correction when the expenditure has already been adjusted using CSU Expense Adjust Employee or CSU Expense Adjust Combo Code. Because those processes can adjust a transaction only once, subsequent changes must be made using CSU Expense Adjust Correction.

Do not run this process in the middle of LCD processing.

  • Position Number

Guidelines

  1. Make the journal date one day after the original adjustment journal date.
  2. Verify the combo code corresponds with the accounts being adjusted. This process does not dynamically adjust the charges to appropriate combo codes but uses the combo codes entered into the Charge To section.
  3. If an adjustment requires split funding, use the plus button to add rows. Ensure that the total Charged % adds to 100%.
  4. Check the Preliminary Test check box to run the process as a test to see which lines and amounts will be included in the adjustment.
Adjustment fields

A preliminary test does not process the adjustment. After reviewing the test results, clear Preliminary Test and run the process again to submit the adjustment.
