Q. What happens if an expense fails the grants validation?
| If a grant claim/claim line fails grant validation when being interfaced it will be coded to the department suspense account. The interface process will generate a report which is sent to the department telling them what has failed. The employee is still reimbursed in a timely manner but the department will need to move the costs from the suspense to the correct place. Possible fails could include: • the expense type that has been mapped in Concur to the grant expenditure type has no budget for that expense • the type of expenses is not allowed on the project/task • its outside of active dates The report will be sent to the research grant contact so that they are aware that it is on the suspense account and will need moving. NOTE: If a grant fails fund checking it will be listed on the Funds Check Failure burst report and not this report, they will need to be dealt with in the same way funds check failures are currently, they will not go to the suspense account. |
