The Cancel Variance action is available when a variance is in the Reconciling status. You can access this action from the Variance Scoreboard, Assign to Me Widget or directly within the Paysheet Document tab. Using this action cancels the reconciliation work and moves the variance back to the Reconciler Assigned status.

Reviewing the Cancel Variance Dialog

Below is an overview of each field and how to use it:

  • Reassign To 
    You can either type a participant’s name or select one from the dropdown.
    • The dropdown also shows the number of tasks currently assigned to each participant.
    • Once selected, the variance will be reassigned to that participant.
    • If you leave the field blank, the variance will return to the Reconciler Assigned status.
  • Comments (Optional)
    Add any relevant notes. These will be stored in the Paysheet Work History scoreboard for reference.

 

 

 
 

Steps to Cancel the Variance

Steps to Cancel a Variance

  1. Click the Cancel Variance action.
  2. In the Reassign To field, select the participant who you want to reassign the reconciliation to. 
    1. To move the document back to the Reconciler Assigned status without changing the assignee, simply leave the "Reassign To" field blank.
    2. This will keep it assigned to the same participant, but update the status accordingly.
  3. Click Cancel Variance to confirm the reassignment. 

 

 
 

Cancelling Variance with Multiple Types

Cancelling a variance works differently from unassigning individual variance types.

If an invoice line has multiple variance types (Quantity and Price) on the same line, you cannot cancel just one of them.

When you cancel the line:

  • All variance types associated with that line will be cancelled together.
  • The entire line will either:
    • Be reassigned to a selected participant, or
    • Move the document back to the Reconciler Assigned status without changing the assignee 

This ensures that the full variance context for that line is either handled by a new assignee or held for reassignment later.

Key Difference from Unassigning:

  • Unassigning allows you to remove a specific variance type.
  • Cancelling affects all variance types on that line—you don’t choose individually.
