The situation

The guide pays field costs with personal money, records each real expense once in its original currency, and waits for El Encuentro to reimburse it through Finance.

What starts it

A reimbursable field cost has already occurred and the guide has the source details or receipt.

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

    Review the source details and submit the personal expense once

    Guide

    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.
