How do I change institution code with multiple institutional eligibility   

User X is affiliated with two different institutions, the institutions A1 and Ö2. User X receives an invoice with their ZZ(A1) reference, which means that the invoice ends up in institution A1. User X wants the payment to go to institution Ö2.
Do not reject the invoice to ask us to change the institution. Instead, select account and the preferred project with institution Ö2, then approve. The project controls departmental competences and in the final bookkeeping it changes from A1 to Ö2.

Forward an invoice

Should the entire invoice be sent to another user, forward the invoice (do not reject). Leave DUMMY and institution code. The institution designation changes when the intended approver specifies his project.

Select the person you´ll forward to in the drop-down list, the options appear when you enter the name or personal KI-ID.

Comment is required. Then press the Forward button.

Reject an invoice

You should only reject an invoice that is incorrect, i.e. an invoice that is not addressed to Karolinska Institute. In case of other errors, such as not delivered, damaged goods i.e. contact the supplier and request a credit note (more information below).
Should the invoice belong to another user, forward the invoice instead of rejecting it.

The below box pops up, comment required, end with Reject.

Request a credit note for an incorrect invoice?

If you receive an invoice that does not match your order, you should contact the supplier and request a credit. Park the invoice and enter the comment. When credit arrives, approve debit invoice and credit invoice with the same account and project number at the same time.

Enter comments on both invoices so that economists can connect both invoices. For example, on the debit invoice, you can type: Belongs to credit with the number 123456. On the credit note, type: Belongs to the debit with the number 78910.

Park an invoice

Park an invoice by pressing the Park button, enter comment with reason for parking, press Park again to finish.

1b. In advanced mode

Use advanced mode if you want to:

• forward part of an invoice to another user
• Code the invoice per amount and projects numbers

Switch to advanced mode by button To advanced mode.

Split cost per user/institution and/or project number

To split the cost on multiple rows press Split row. Repeat if needed.

For splitting cost per account and/or project number, state amount per row and code per usual with account and project number. Check upper left small box to select all rows, press Accept, and finish with pressing Save

When forwarding part of the cost to another user. Start by dividing rows as previously described. Enter the correct amount per row. 

Select the row you want to forward by checking the small left box on the specified row and press Forward. NOTE, do not change the coding, leave DUMMY and institution code. The institution designation changes when the intended approver specifies their project.

Then you can write a comment to the person who you are forwarding too.

In this mode, you can also accept your own rows and forward other rows at the same time. Your own rows must then be coded per usual. Select only your own row and press Godkänna / Accept. Select each row to be forwarded individually according to the instructions above. Then select all rows by ticking the top box, finish by pressing Save. (All rows need an applied action).

NOTE !!! You are only authorized for your own institution, so you can not approve for other institutions for which you are not authorized. I.e. you should not change account or project but leave DUMMY. If you fill in a projectnumber for an institution for which you are not authorized, you will receive an error message and will not be able to forward the row. The institution designation changes when the intended approver specifies their project.
