Expense Report Showing Pending Accounting Approval Status But Accounting Approval Box Is Checked

An Expense Report entered in a closed period, with Approved by Accounting status, can only be paid once. Hence, the Make Payment button shall be available until a Bill Payment/Check has been saved to pay for the Expense Report.

Once the Bill Payment/Check has been voided and the related voiding journal approved, the related Expense Report will return to Pending Accounting Approval status. This is despite the Accounting Approval box is checked.

The solution would be to re-open the Accounting Period where the Expense Report was recorded. Edit the Expense Report and then Save.

The Expense Report will revert to Approved by Accounting status and Make Payment button shall become available again then proceed with paying the check normally.
