Understanding Running Expense Transaction Processes

Several functions in PeopleSoft Expenses require running processes that move data, change a record, or perform an intermediate step in processing expenses. You initiate many of these processes on the Expense Processes page.

Warning! Do not run the Stage Payments and the Unstage Payments processes in the same run control. Do not run the Stage Time to Project Costing and Publish Elapsed Time processes in the same run control. These combinations prevent staging.

If the stage, unstage, post liabilities, or post payment process abends during the process, you must restart the abended instance from the Process Scheduler.

Warning! Do not run the payment staging process concurrently with the budget checking process to ensure that the system does not select the same transaction for both processes.

Warning! When you run the Stage Payments and Post Liabilities processes, do not change the Accounting Entry Template. Specifically, do not populate the Accounting Entry Template with ChartFields that are already populated for employee-generated expense distributions.
