Marking Expense Reports for Unpost

Purpose:  Use this document as a reference for marking Expense Reports (ER) for subsequent unposting in ctcLink. This process is also referred as to unposting Expense Reports.

Audience:  Finance staff/supervisors.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ Expenses Processing

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

PREREQUISITES: Must have an expense report where liabilities have been posted, and it must not be in ‘Paid’ status. If it is in ‘Paid’ status, it is only eligible to be Unposted if the amount due employee is 0.00 (as well as liabilities posted).

Marking Expense Reports for Unpost

Expense Reports can only be unposted if the accounting date is within the current open period. Make sure you re-post the Expense Report before the current open period closes.

Do Not Unpost Expense Reports in a status of Paid or Staged.

Do not use the Unpost Expense Report process to update the Payment Type on the Expense Lines. If the Payment Type needs to be updated on a Posted Expense Report, then you can either Close the ER if it hasn’t been paid, or run the A/P Cancelation process if it has, with the Do Not Reissue/Close Liability option. Then you would need to enter a new, corrected expense report.
