If you select the Expenses were incurred... radio button for a SIGNED authorization, what does DTS not automatically do?

When the "Expenses were incurred..." radio button is selected for a SIGNED authorization, the system is designed primarily to process incurred expenses and keep track of them in accordance with the authorization provided. Selecting this option does not trigger the creation of a voucher automatically.

A voucher is a formal document that represents an obligation to pay a supplier or a record of expenses incurred, and its creation often depends on specific processes and additional data validation that may not be fulfilled merely by indicating that expenses were incurred. This separation helps ensure that the appropriate documentation and approval processes are adhered to before funds are disbursed.

In contrast, the system will typically handle notifications to the accounting office, calculate total expenses, and prepare summary reports as part of its operational functions, providing a streamlined way to manage financial records and data reporting related to incurred expenses. These features are built into the system to ensure that users have the necessary oversight and accountability regarding their expenses.
