Article summary

A grant was posted to AP with an Action status of 'Proposal' instead of 'Approved'. Now the voucher listed in the AP Activity tab of the grant cannot be found in AP and no GL entries can be found relating to this grant.

Answer:

Grants posted in a 'Proposal' Action status have no effect on the ledger. Once posted, this grant will sit in Application History and have zero effect on anything else within FIMS. The grants cannot be deleted or adjusted.

To correct this:

  1. Open the posted Grant that is in Action Proposal status
  2. Click the copy button near the top left next to the save button
  3. In the copied grant change the action status to Approved
  4. Now you can post the grant and it will create a payable in AP
