The Unassign Variance action is available when a variance is in the Reconciler Assigned status. You can access this action from the Variance Scoreboard, PAY Tasks workpsace or directly within the Paysheet Document tab. This allows you to reassign the variance to a participant for reconciliation.

Reviewing the Unassign Variance Dialog

Below is an overview of the dialog:

  • 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 Variance Detected status, making it available for reassignment later.
  • Variance 
    If only one type of variance is triggered on an invoice, the variance field will automatically display that specific type.
    • However, if multiple variance types are triggered, the field will default to All Variances
    • In this case, users can use the dropdown to select one or more specific variance types they want to assign - it doesn’t have to be all of them.
  • Comments (Optional)
    Add any relevant notes. These will be stored in the Paysheet Work History scoreboard for reference.

Unassigning One out of Multiple Variance Type 

If an invoice has multiple variance types, you don’t have to unassign all at once, you can unassign just one.

Example:

If you choose to unassign only the Price variance (leaving Reassign To Blank)

  • The system will split the variances into two separate line items:
    • Quantity will move back to the Variance Detected status.
    • Price will remain in the Reconciler Assigned status.

If you choose to unassign only the Price variance (selecting a Reassign To Participant)

  • The system will split the variances into two separate line items:
    • Price will move to the Reconciler Assigned status under the new Participant.
    • Freight and MISC will remain in the Reconciler Assigned status as the original Participant.
      • The video below demonstrates this example.

 

This separation helps clearly show which variance type is still being worked on and which has been unassigned.

Only the selected variance type will be unassigned from the participant.

You can unassign any remaining variance types separately at any time.
