The situation

The guide's debt has to disappear, and the money has to go back where it came from, depending on how the advance was funded.

What starts it

Finance clicks Void on a Funded advance.

How it unfolds

AccountingGuideSystem
  1. 1

    Finance clicks Void and writes the reason

    Accounting

    The reason is required.

  2. 2

    Finance reads what voiding will do

    Accounting

    The text depends on how the advance was funded.

  3. 3

    Finance clicks Void advance

    Accounting

    The request becomes Cancelled and keeps its record. This is the key moment of the journey.

  4. 4

    Cash or Already paid: the payout is voided and the money returns to the register

    System

    Supplier bill: the amount becomes available on the bill again; the bill and its payments don't change.

  5. 5

    The debt leaves the guide's account and the guide is notified

    Guide

    The guide sees the advance as cancelled in the app.

Who's involved

Accounting

Owns money movement, registers, and reconciliation.

Guide

Requests advances in Trailhead and repays them from earnings.

System

Automates emails, matching, reminders, and sync.

What each person sees

Accounting

The request, how the money left, and the guide's debt before and after.

Why: Record what the guide owes without counting money twice.

Guide

The request status and the personal advance debt in the Trailhead app.

Why: Know what was given and what is still owed.

The rule to remember

Void an advance only before it is recovered; void the guide settlement that deducted it first.
