The situation

Finance settles an open Guide Earnings Bill by choosing how much becomes cash liquidity for the guide and how much offsets eligible guide debt. Reimbursements remain in their separate approval and payment flow.

What starts it

Finance is preparing a full or partial settlement of an open Guide Earnings Bill.

How it unfolds

GuideAccounts
  1. 1

    Open the Guide account and review the relevant movement

    Guide

    Match the amount, original currency, effective date, type, and note to the real event.

  2. 2

    Choose the cash amount and debt offset, review the remaining earnings and debt, and confirm the settlement

    Accounts

    This is the key moment: use the source event and evidence; never manufacture an offset to make the total look right.

  3. 3

    Review the resulting status and movement trail

    Accounts

    Approval, reimbursement, payment, adjustment, and reversal remain distinct and preserve history.

Who's involved

Guide

Reviews the account, supplies real field context, and avoids duplicate or compensating entries.

Accounts

Reviews evidence, explains movements, and owns approvals, corrections, payouts, and settlement.

What each person sees

Guide

Season summary, settlement readiness, original-currency expenses, reimbursement status, paid-out total, and dated movements.

Why: understand what happened and what remains open

Accounts

The evidence and movement history needed to review, approve, reimburse, correct, pay, or settle.

Why: preserve an explainable ledger

The rule to remember

The Guide account is an explainable ledger, not cash on hand; source workflows prove events and finance owns approval and settlement.
