Chrome River Pre-Approval Encumbrance Liquidation entries update
We wanted to provide an update regarding the Chrome River pre-approval encumbrance liquidations. The pre-approvals that were updated to “Used/Expired” but did not post the liquidation entries to Banner following the Emburse Chrome River update on July 7, 2024, have now been successfully uploaded into Banner. Additionally, all travel encumbrances (excluding Grants) created through July 9, 2024, have been closed.Our team is continuing to work diligently on resolving the issue with daily liquidations that have not posted since the Emburse update. We remain fully committed to addressing this matter as quickly as possible.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this time and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at travel@vcu.edu
