 The error message Employee ABC is not allowed to use cost object XYZ of type Internal Order on DD.MM.YYYY is shown after clicking Submit.

Cause

The employee is using an Other Cost Object outside the validity period that he is assigned.

Resolution

  1. Go to the expense line item of the date that is shown in the error message and check the Other Cost Object that is being used. Check with the Administrator/Key User which is the validity period that you assigned to that Other Cost Object;
  2. If no expense line item from the date that is shown in the error message has that Cost assignment in them, please check the expenses such as Hotel, Rental Car, Flight, etc. In these expense category type there are fields such as Check-in Check-out which get the header assignment in consideration. Please check if in one of these expenses this dates are put wrong and need adjustment. Furthermore all cost objects need to be valid until the end of the trip, even when in some cases the internal order was only used for several days. The system checks are always done on the last day of the expense report.
