The Advance Management System is designed to assist Voucher Processing and the Cashier’s Office in the tracking of travel, imprest, event, research, and open advances. An advance is distributed in the form of a note which authorizes the Cashier’s Office to disburse the funds. Depending on the type of advance, the repayment of the advance may be required within days, or in the case of open advances, at some indefinite future date.
