Close an advance return only when company receipt is evidenced

Keep a return instruction distinct from completed receipt.

Records and local rule

Original register has released advance 500 and accepted expenses 200. Staff submits a 300 transfer instruction, but company receipt is still unknown. The acquittal counts only confirmed receipts, not the instruction amount.

Process the recorded case

  1. Link the return instruction to the advance
  2. Check actual company receipt
  3. Keep uncertain receipt outstanding
  4. Apply confirmed receipt to acquittal

An uncertain result needs receipt checking before another return is requested; avoid demanding the same 300 twice.

Check the outcome

What remains open now, and after a confirmed receipt of 300?

Show the worked answer

Now 500−200=300. After confirmed receipt, 500−200−300=0. The original instruction alone cannot close it.
