Re: How to add FO recipient from another unit?
You might want to contact the District Clerk. He's responsible for training branch clerks. He'd also be a good one to figure out how to make this work (or break the news that it can't).

In that case you may want to review Handbook 1: 5.1.2 "Medical Expenses That Exceed Authorized Amounts".rchomskis wrote:I am the district clerk
You can try and contact support, but I have my doubts. I see no provision in the Handbook for spreading the payment across multiple units. Nor is there a need to unless it's an attempt to keep things under the radar that perhaps should be on the radar.
Good luck with your chat with the District President.

Actually authorisation came from our mission president, so now the branches try to figure out this "greyed out" issue. oh, and the overall medical expense is still within the limits of authorised medical expenses for district president (according to Handbook 1 5.1.2), but too large for one branch to handle, hence the splitrussellhltn wrote:In that case you may want to review Handbook 1: 5.1.2 "Medical Expenses That Exceed Authorized Amounts".rchomskis wrote:I am the district clerk

That sounds like a clear violation of the intent of the policy. We see that in accounting as well, when folks try to circumvent corporate policy by splitting expenses. Bad news.

Re: How to add FO recipient from another unit?
As I see it, the underlying problem is that the branch president has one limit and the district president has a higher limit.
The question is, what is the procedure when a payment exceeds the branch's amount but is within the district's amount?
The way the Handbook is written, it sounds like it's still done by the one unit, but I don't know how the approval process is handled. Is it just a pop-up reminder, or does it refuse until something else is done?

Re: How to add FO recipient from another unit?
the underlying problem here is to pay the expense ASAP, instead of Area Presidency approved way, which involves loads of approval paperwork. I guess our MLS is not prepared to handle such time-sensitive/urgent exeptions... and contacting GSC is the only way to solve this...russellhltn wrote:As I see it, the underlying problem is that the branch president has one limit and the district president has a higher limit.
