    Hello

    Select the specific expense 

    Click on Distribute amount

    You may notice that there are repeated expenses line of the same expense 

    Delete the  expense lines with number 1

    save

    go back to expenses in the Grid view

    post the expense now

    Hope this helps !!!!

    Hi Gunjan,

    Thanks for the tip. I already verified this and all the amounts are 100%.

    Could you please try the following ?

    1. Go into the expense report details view and click on "Disctribute amounts".

    2. In the accounting distributions screen that opens up, check for the Distribution Percent (as highlighted below).

    3. If the Percent is more than 100, try clicking on Reset.
