Find out how to review Travel Event Planner (TEP) card expenses and, if necessary, modify an expense charge by changing the index/ account code or redistributing a transaction.

TEP card transactions post to the operating ledger in FinancialLink 10 days after they're received from U.S. Bank, so it's important to review event expenses in ECManager to make any necessary changes before expenses post.
