Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Imprests: View. A related screen can remain hidden when an optional module is inactive, a source record is in an ineligible status, the selected account is inactive or the user is not an assigned approver.

What this feature does

Audit the disbursement, retirement, refunds and receipts connected to an imprest request. It forms part of Britixo Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.

How the module flow works

The module has dedicated detail panels and deletion actions for imprest and retirement records. Deleting either can affect the accountability chain and should be tightly restricted.

No ledger entries may appear while a claim or imprest remains draft; that can be correct according to status.

Use project budget detail and account reports to reconcile the wider impact.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the imprest detail.
  2. Review request attachments and approval status.
  3. Compare disbursement amount with ledger entries.
  4. Review retirement actual spent and receipts.
  5. Verify variance settlement and any refund entries.
  6. Trace accounts in the General Ledger.
  7. Confirm final status and no remaining unexplained balance.

What happens after completion

After the action is saved, Britixo keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.

  • Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
  • Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
  • Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not remove receipts after approval without a replacement record.
  • Investigate missing ledger panels.
  • Check payment settlement in bank reconciliation.
  • Protect staff personal data.
  • Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
  • Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.
Accounting and data safetyDeletion, reset, void, refund, mapping, journal and reconciliation actions can change financial history. Use approved access, retain supporting evidence and validate the result in the General Ledger or relevant control report.
