Run Expense Accruals

After setting up expenses for the fund, you can process the expense accruals using the Run Expense Accruals panel in the Global Process workspace.

To run the expense accrual process:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Processing and Exceptions > Global Processes.
    You see the Global Process workspace.

  2. In the left navigation, click Expenses and Run Expense Accruals.
    You see the Run Expense Accruals panel.

  3. Complete the options on the Run Expense Accruals panel.

  4. Click Submit.
    The Loopbacks pane appears at the bottom of the panel, where you can review the global processing results.

The accrual selection in the following example uses a query option of One Entity / All Expenses. Based on this option, the system will accrue all expenses in the entity through September 28th. You can verify the query was successful by reviewing the information that is displayed in the Summary tab. For example, you can compare the total number of loopbacks that were generated with the total number of loopbacks that were processed.
