How to document a refund

[llaroche]

I had made reservations for a recent conference. At the last minute, I decided to drive in daily versus stay at a hotel. I received an expense as I had to use the company card for a deposit on the room. Since then I have received additional documentation showing the reservation was cancelled and the deposit funds were returned to the card. How do I document this?

Hi@llaroche,

A credit should be sent from the credit card company that will show up in your Available Expenses, and then you can put both the first and the returned transaction on your Expense Report. You also might want to reach out to your manager to see if they have a policy on how to do this as well.

@MelanieT. Thanks for the response. The card was charged in July for the stay in August. If I've already processed the receipt for the charge in a prior expense report, am I able to re-list the expense to illustrate the refund? Also when I list the original expense it shows as out of pocket, which it isn't. Can this be changed by my administrator?

What is the step by step procedure for getting a reimbursement of a vision frame?

Hi@TashfiulAmin,

I am not sure what you mean by a Vision Frame? Do you have an example I could look at?

Hi@llaroche,

It appears that you incurred a charge on your card for a future expense which was reimbursed. I assume it was IBIP card. Subsequently, the charge was reversed. Normally, the reversal will also result in a negative card transaction that flows into Concur and shows up in your account.

Typically the guidance is that such transactions be adjusted against future spend. In case your integration permits it, the negative transaction can also be expensed on its own and adjusted against any payments you make the company or against future expenses.

There is also another possibility that the refund was processed as a payment. In such case, it will not be loaded to your Concur profile and will need to be accounted for manually or by recording negative cash transaction.

My recommendation would be to check with support/ Concur administrator for your company/ Finance team on how such a refund needs to be processed.

希望这helps.
