General Error Correction (GEC)
• Used to correct a posting error (wrong account number, wrong object code, wrong amount was used etc.)
• Only used for corrections of actual balances for revenues and expenses
• Cannot be used to correct:
• Budget Adjustments (Use another BA, or use the Error Correction button)
• Salary Expense Transfer (Use another ST) • Transfer of Funds / Cash (Use another TF, or use the Error
Correction button)
Should I do a GEC or use the Error Correction button? Certain Financial Processing eDocs (DI, GEC, BA, SSBA, TF) will display an “error correction” button at the bottom of the eDoc once it is in Final status. If an entire eDoc is incorrect, use this button to create a new eDoc which is a complete reversal of the original. Do this instead of using a GEC.

Go to: Transactions ~ Financial Processing ~ General Error Correction
Enter a Description
This description appears in the
action list of the approver, in
eDoc searches, and often in the
transaction detail.

Billing or a Collector Feed, use code BC Reference Number (eDoc # where error occurred) Line Description. Click “add”. Repeat for the 2nd

Other / Optional Tabs
If correcting an entry involving a capital asset, you must complete the Capital Asset tabs (Accounting Lines for Capitalization, and either Create Capital Assets or Modify Capital Assets. The asset number can usually be found on the Purchase Order Notes and Attachments tab. Need help? Use the New Capital Asset Tabs Guide,
or contact Inventory Control.

Distribution of Income and Expense (DI)
• Used when moving expenses or revenue from one or many account(s) to one or many
other account(s)
• Usually used only when either expense on both sides or revenue on both sides (allocation of postage, copier charges)
• If one department is providing goods/services to another department (revenue on
one side and expense on the other), use the Internal Billing (IB)or Service Billing (SB) eDoc
• If moving revenue accumulated on an Internal Billing (IB) or a Service Billing (SB), please use a General Error Correction (GEC) with Reference Origin Code BC.
• Can import multiple lines via CSV file format (see page 8)
Go to: Transactions ~ Financial Processing ~ Distribution of Income and Expense
There must be an actual amount in the “FROM” side balance to move. Use the balance inquiries to check the account, sub-account, object code, etc. (You can’t move something that isn’t there!)
