Expenses can be moved from one speed type to a different speed type with a correcting entry, also called a journal entry. An email to request a journal entry should include the following information:

  1. Speed type where actual charge hit
  2. Account code
  3. Exact amount
  4. Date (especially when there are multiple charges with the same amount)
  5. Speed type where expense should be moved to
  6. Reason for the correction

Instead of listing the above information in the body of an email, a financial detail report may be attached to the email request with the expense(s) circled.

For journal entry requests involving 610 and / or 611 speed types, please contact Pam Sulsona (Pamela.Sulsona@ucdenver.edu).
