Interpreting Expense Requests Transaction Numbers and Statuses

Expense Requests system transactions are assigned a transaction number by the system when new transactions are created. Transaction Numbers start with a prefix indicating the type of transaction:

Transaction Number Prefix Transaction Type
ADV Advance Request
ER Expense Report for SU Payee
PR Non-PO Payment Request
VR Expense Report for Non-SU Payee (Visitor Reimbursement)
PC Petty Cash Replenishment Request
DP Digital Payment Non-SU Payee

 

Transactions can be tracked on the Expense Requests Home page using Statuses. Refer to the following tables to interpret statuses found in the Status column.

Refer to How To: Handle Rejected/Returned Transactions and Request for More Info for help with Workflow Notifications generated when transactions are returned or rejected by Approvers or the Business Expense team.

All saved, in progress, withdrawn, rejected or returned expense reports are shown in the Transactions to Complete table.
