A cash advance has several parts to complete before submitting it for approval. The way you set up your expenses system determines what kinds of data are required and how your accounting system uses the data. If you have set up a report description and business purpose on the Employee Profile - User Defaults page, then PeopleSoft Expenses prepopulates these fields on cash advances. As you go through the preparation process, you can import advances initiated at an ATM using a corporate credit card. You can save cash advances for further work, or you can submit them for approval.

Use the Create Cash Advance page (TE_ADVANCE) to create a cash advance request and submit it for approval or save it for further work. This page turns into the Modify Cash Advance Report page when you Submit it.
