Oracle Notifications are further discussed in Topic 3.4 – Notification – Request for Information
2.2 Creating an Expense Report Login to Oracle and Select CDU iExpense responsibility
This will take you to the Expense Home Page (see Topic 1)
To start the process click on to get started
If creating an Expense Report on behalf of another staff member (as a proxy), select their name from the drop down box beside Name. Then add details to the Purpose.
Convention – IntialLastname – Type (CCard, Travel, Reimbursement, Cash Advance) – Period
There is a CDU iExpense Quick Reference Guide (QRG) which you can refer to for Entering Expenses
Once you have started the Create Expense Report you can Save it at any time allowing you to add transactions or update information at a later time.
The progress indicator will tell what stage you are at throughout the creation of the Expense Report. When you re-open a report you may need to click Next a few times to get to the screen you wish to update. *Do not untick transactions after reopening an Expense Report or you will lose all the data you have entered for that line or lines.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 9
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
2.3 Adding Credit Card Transaction to a Report If you or the person you are preparing the Expense Report for has a CDU Corporate Credit Card, the Credit Card Transactions page will be available. If not you will be taken straight to the Cash and Other Expenses screen.
Credit Card Transactions screen 2.3.1
Tick in the Select box the transaction/s you wish to code. Or choose Select All.
Do not un-tick transactions you have already coded. This will remove the transaction from the report and you will have to re-enter all data related again.
Click next will bring up the Credit Card Expenses screen where the transactions are coded and descriptions are entered.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 10
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Enter the Expense type and the description. 2.3.2
A maximum of 256 characters in the description field will be imported into the General Ledger. This may affect your reporting and may therefore need to be carefully considered.
If you have a receipt that needs to be split between different Expense Types this is referred to
as itemization Go into details. To do this click on the details icon . Then Click Itemize
2.3.2.1 Missing Receipt If the receipt is missing tick the box next to “Original Receipt Missing” and change the Tax Code to Gst-0%. This means the cost centre will incur the full cost of the transaction as the University is unable to claim the GST without a receipt that displays the amount of GST charged. Statutory Declaration is available via the Policy and Forms link at the top of the page.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 11
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
2.3.2.2 Addition information for Expense Types Some Expense types require Additional Information on this screen. For example “Entertainment”
Ensure that all fields marked with * (Mandatory Information) is completed.
2.3.2.3 Itemization If receipts need to be split, for example, a Staples order that included purchases for both stationery and kitchen consumables; we need to Itemize the transaction. Click on the
to start.
There are a few ways to do this. We recommend that you decrease the first line by the amount of the next line (or sum of the extra lines) Change the value of the first line. (See example below).
In this example we have a purchase from Officeworks. Stationary and a hard disk ($90) were purchased on this transaction. The hard disk could be assigned to Minor Equipment and Repairs.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 12
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Click on the Details icon on the transaction row
Click Itemize. You should see details of the transaction line at the bottom of the page (you may need to scroll down)
Reduce the Itemized Receipt Amount by the amount of the row you wish to add, in this case $90.
Notice that Unallocated Expenses is now showing $90. Click on Add Another Row. The new row will automatically assign the Unallocated Expenses amount.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 13
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Now select the Expense Type and update the Description
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 14
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
When completed ensure “Unallocated Expenses” is $0.00 as any Unallocated Expense amounts will not be paid by CDU
Receipts that have both Taxable (GST) and Non-Taxable (GST-Free) items (usually from Supermarkets etc) need to be separated onto two lines via ‘Itemize’.
To calculate the GST portion of a Coles or Woolworths receipt, multiply the GST amount shown on the receipt by 10 and add back the GST amount to get the Gross Value.
For Example
Receipt Total $100
GST $2.50
Would be Itemized in the details screen.
Line 1-1 Catering $72.50 GST-0%
Line 1-2 Catering $27.50 GST-10%
Once itemization is completed you can either select to proceed to the details page of
the next Expense or you can select which will take you back to the “Cash and Other Expenses” summary page.
Once details have been entered for all claims click on which will take you to “Expense Allocation” page
2.4 Entering a Cash Expense
If you have permission to enter Expense reports on behalf of someone their name will also be available in the dropdown list.
Input a Purpose for the Expense Report:
Travel Allowance 2.4.1

Entering Expense transactions is very similar to Credit transactions. The difference being that transaction date, amount and merchant all have to be entered manually.
Note: Where both Corporate Card and Cash Expenses exist, they can be included in a single expense claim. Travel Allowance should be entered as a separate Expense Report in order to make the future date of TA not clash with other transactions.
Receipts are attached at the header of the Expense Report, remember to number them matching the line of the purchase on your claim.
Click until you are at Cash and Other Expenses
If you do not have a Corporate Card, these credit card pages will not be displayed.
If the expense was in a foreign currency you will need to show the receipt currency.
Select
Travel Allowance Claim – Date is to be set a week prior to departure (refer to Table 1 – Date for more information) and Travel Allowance should be a separate Expense Report i.e. Anna is expected to travel on the 27th April therefore the date selected is 7 days prior to departure e.g. 20-Apr-2015

2.5 Cash Advance Cash advance requires two separate Expense Reports:
- The first is the request for the Cash Advance
- The second in the acquittal of the Cash Advance.
Cash Advance Request 2.5.1
Create a new Expense Report giving the purpose with User-Cash Advance Request-reason (e.g. MMaderal- Cash Advance Request – East Timor Travel)
Click Next through to Cash and Other Expenses then create an entry for the date the cash is required and the amount. Select Cash Advance (752) as the Expense Type. The description should include the user-why-movement request no (if applicable).

The expense allocation
Click Next and attach relevant documentation (attaching files is discussed in the section on Attaching Receipts) such as movement requisitions and any justification for the advance.
Click Submit and note the Expense Report Number (CDUxxxxxx). You will need this number for acquitting the Cash Advance.
Cash Advance Acquittal 2.5.2
Create a new report. The purpose should include the receivers name-Cash Advance Acquittal-CDUxxxxxx (the number of the Cash Advance Request) e.g. MMaderal-Cash Advance Acquittal- CDUxxxxxx.
Click Next through to Cash and Other Expenses
The first entry will be the amount of the original Cash Advance as a negative value. The Expense Type with be Cash Advance Acquittal. Description should show the User-Acquittal-CDUxxxxxx (Cash Advance Request number).
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 19
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Note that the Total is showing a negative number. This needs to be zero to completely acquit all funds.
If the expenses were in a foreign currency then you will need to click on Show Receipt Currency. Remember that transactions overseas do not get GST so you will need to go into details to change the Tax settings to GST-0%
Enter the expense in exactly the same way as a Cash Expense. Put the description used in the first line (Cash Advance Acquittal) as the start of each expense line.
Note click on update will recalculate the amount due.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 20
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Once all expenses have been entered the remaining cash should be given to cashiers who will give you a receipt. Enter this amount as the final line. Expense Type is Cash Advance Refund. Description will have the first line description with the receipt number from Cashiers.
Note that the Total is now 0.00.

CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 22
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17
Dealing with Excess spend 2.5.3
If you have spent more than was allocated from the original Cash Advance you will need to get written authorisation from the cost centre owner and attach the document. iExpense will then treat the excess amount like a standard reimbursement claim. You do not need to submit a separate Expense Report, just continue to add the amounts to the existing report. In this case the amount remaining should be a positive amount payable. Remembering that all transactions will need to have receipts and related documentation attached.
Other anomalies 2.5.4
There will likely be differences in amounts as a result off currency conversion. If this adds up to less than 5% of the total Cash Advance then enter this as a transaction to “Bank Charges (336)” adding “currency conversion losses” to the description.
CDU iExpense User Guide - Page 23
R 12 Printed on 18-Jan-17

3 Appendix
3.1 Travel Audit Group (TAG) Documentation
When Movement Requests include a Travel Allowance payment prior to travel the documentation will be scanned and included in the iExpense System, there will no longer be the need to forward documentation to the Travel Officer.
However Movement Requests with no up-front payments i.e. Reimbursements, charge to Corporate Card or paid by external agency will still need to be forwarded to the Travel Officer in the Office of Strategic Procurement.
All Approved travel Movement Requests should be submitted to Procurement prior to travel, however we do not need duplications. So if they are already in Oracle iExpenses the Procurement Office will register the movement details from the electronic copy.
Please do not hold approved Movement Requests to process post travel without lodging with the Travel Officer first (either by scanning to [email protected] or delivering to Orange 8). This ensures the movement is registered for insurance and other emergency situations.
3.2 Logging into Oracle E-Business Suite

Some examples include;
1. Random or unrecognised Merchant. 2. A purchase made from a strange location. Double charge. Card can be swiped more than once. 3. Excessive charge. 4. Small charges. (lots small charges can go unnoticed)
Note: Do not treat transactions that are valid but are expected to be refunded as disputed transactions. Such transaction must be processed normally. Use the same code and description on the refund as was used on the original transaction.
