Apply Cash Advance  If you have used the **Cash Advance **to pay for an **Expense**, you can apply it towards the expense while editing your **Expense**.  You can do so by selecting the relevant **Expense Report **first, then click on the **Expense** to which you wish to apply the **Cash Advance**.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-20-4847-PM.png?width=669&height=140&name=undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-20-4847-PM.png) Once you have the** Expense** screen opened, go to the **Payment Type** field, and select the **Paid with Cash Advance** option.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-27-0151-PM.png?width=664&height=527&name=undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-27-0151-PM.png) When done, click on the** Save** icon   to save it.    ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-34-0285-PM.png?width=672&height=206&name=undefined-Dec-23-2023-06-18-34-0285-PM.png) You will notice all the adjusted calculations in the upper part of the **Expenses** list.  To decipher the above Expense and applied Cash Advance we can read it as follows:  1. The Cash Advance was released to the employee -$60: **Employees** owes the **Company** $60  1. He spent the cash on the necessary Expense - $60: **Employee** does not owe the **Company** anything, but needs to report the** Expense**.  1. He creates the **Expense** and the **Expense Report** for $60: Expense worth $60 documented.  1. He mentions that this **Expense** was paid with the cash that the **Company** paid him $60 earlier (applied Cash Advance): Documenting the **Cash Advance** applied.  This way neither the Company or Employee owes each other, except documenting these events for record keeping.  In a situation where, the **Employee** paid more that the** Expense** amount, he will need to either return the cash back to the **Company **(Employee owes the remaining balance), or can apply this **Cash Advance** to a different **Expense**, as necessary.  In case where the **Employee** applied a cash advance amount less that the** Expense **amount, he will need to apply the **Cash Advance** as per the regular process. The remaining balance will be due:  -  either to the **Employee** by the **Company **if the **Employee **paid for the rest out of pocket   - or by the** Company** if a corporate card was used to pay for the remaining balance to the financial institution.
