Reimburse The Guide Through Finance

The guide used personal money at the access, so El Encuentro owes a separate reimbursement that never becomes guide compensation.

The situation

A complete paid-at-access report creates one personal expense in Guide Account and one reimbursement obligation for Finance. Both records keep the original Access reference, amount, and currency without creating owner debt or using an operating fund.

What starts it

PA-01 records a payment the guide made with personal money.

How it unfolds

SystemAccountsGuideOperations
  1. 1

    Trailhead sends the paid-at-access report to Guide Account with one source reference

    System

    The Access, guide, amount, currency, and payment evidence travel together so retries cannot create duplicates.

  2. 2

    Guide Account records the payment as the guide's personal field expense

    System

    This is the key moment: personal money becomes a reimbursable expense without becoming earnings, an advance, or an owner debt.

  3. 3

    Trailhead creates or reuses a separate open reimbursement obligation to the guide

    System

    Finance receives one obligation in the original currency, linked to the expense rather than mixed into guide compensation.

  4. 4

    Finance reviews the expense evidence and reimbursement obligation

    Accounts

    Approval confirms what El Encuentro owes the guide; it does not recreate the field payment or owner charge.

  5. 5

    Finance pays the guide and closes the reimbursement obligation

    Accounts

    The expense, reimbursement, and original Access payment remain linked as one explainable trail.

Who's involved

System

Creates one traceable personal expense and one separate reimbursement obligation.

Accounts

Reviews and pays the guide reimbursement through the Finance workflow.

Guide

Sees the personal expense and its reimbursement status separately from earnings.

Operations

Follows the original Access payment without creating an owner payable.

What each person sees

Guide

The personal expense and the separate Finance reimbursement status

Why: Know what El Encuentro owes without confusing reimbursement with earnings.

Operations

One paid-at-access event linked to the guide expense and reimbursement

Why: Follow the operational consequence without duplicating a financial record.

Accounts

One reimbursement obligation with guide, Access, amount, currency, and evidence

Why: Review and pay the guide through the normal Finance workflow.

The rule to remember

When a guide pays at an access with personal money, El Encuentro reimburses the guide through Finance; no operating fund, owner debt, or compensation movement is created.
