After a request has been approved, a transaction must be associated with it in order for the amounts to update accordingly. You can create a deposit, payment, transfer, or allocation based on the type of request made. All transactions are managed from your Admin view under the Finance dropdown menu.
Creating a Transaction Tied to a Request
Transactions can be created immediately following the request approval; buttons will display at the top of the page for the appropriate type of transaction based on the request. These buttons will only appear on Funding Requests that are Completed or Purchase Requests which have been Approved. You can also access the approved or completed request by selecting Request List and then All Requests.
For Funding Requests, you will see the option for Deposit or Allocate transactions. For Purchase Requests, you will see the option for Payment or Transfer transactions. If you are creating the transaction from the request page, simply click on the appropriate button at the top of the approved request page.
Creating a transaction without a request
To create a transaction without a request, you can do so from the Request List, Payees, Accounts pages or within the Account Details page. Simply click the Transactions dropdown to choose the type of transaction.
