Create accrual extract

To create an accrual extract:

1. From the main menu, select Administration > Period Management > Statement Periods.

   The Statement Periods screen appears.

2. Click the Accrual icon to create a text, xml, or other relevantly formatted file, as per your organization's specification.

   The statement period table appears.

   • Incomplete. The number of transactions that are in error or incomplete, eg. a code is missing or an invalid code has been used.
   • Auto Coded. The number of transactions that have been automatically coded (in green question mark status).
   • Waiting. The number of transactions that are complete and awaiting approval.
   • Question. The number of transactions that have been sent to the approver and returned to the cardholder with a question.
   • Approved. The number of transactions that have been approved.
   • Declined. The number of transactions coded but declined by the approver.
   • Other. The number of approved transactions belonging to expense reports, when:
     • all the transactions belonging to the expense report are approved, but the expense report itself is not approved
     • the expense report itself is approved, but all or some of the transactions are not approved.

     Both scenarios include auto coded transactions when the implementation option Interface - Export - Exclude Auto Coded is disabled.

     Note: The number does NOT include approved transactions belonging to an expense report if all the transactions belonging to the expense report are approved and the expense report itself is also approved.

   • No Rule. The number of transactions that have no associated approval rule.
3. Click Accrual.

   While the extract is being generated, a progress window appears.

   A window will appear advising you the file has been created and placed in the Vault. (Note: If personal vaults are enabled for your instance, the extract is placed in your personal vault.)

   The file will be named similar to the format, Shared Travel Services_<org name>_<date stamp>_<month>_txt (or xml etc).

   You will now be able to go to the Shared Travel Services Vault and download the file to your local machine and then upload the file into your organization's finance (ERP) system.

   After you have created the extract, an extract summary will appear beneath the Previous Extracts heading of the Statement Periods screen.
