Orders put against wrong financial year

Explains why figures in the Committed OPEX report may not match the breakdown and how to check if orders were created in the wrong financial year.

Written by Katie Airey

If the totals in the Committed OPEX report do not match the figures shown in the breakdown for a specific OPEX element, this is usually caused by orders being created against the wrong financial year. This article explains how to check for this and what to do if you find an issue.


Why this happens

This issue can occur when:

  • Orders are created with an incorrect financial year

  • Spend appears against the wrong budget element or period

When this happens, totals in the report and the breakdown will not align.


How to check the financial year

  1. Log in to CareBlox and open the Purchasing module.

  2. Click Reports.

  3. Select Committed OPEX.

  4. Choose the next financial year after the current one.

  5. Select the same period as the one you are reporting on.

  6. Select the required Home.

  7. Click Continue.

  8. Click the magnifying glass next to the OPEX element you are checking.

  9. Review the records to see if any orders appear in the incorrect financial year.

⚠️ Important: In most cases, any records showing in a future financial year indicate an error.
For example, seeing transactions in November 2020 when the current reporting period is March 2020.
