Why is my amount still to receive negative?

A negative amount still to receive means the reimbursements you recorded exceed what is due as of the date on screen: you received more than your allowances so far. It is an overpayment, or an advance, and Kilevo shows it as is rather than rounding it to zero.

The two most common situations:

  1. A payment ahead of the trips. The amount due is computed from January 1 to the end of the period on screen, while payments count for the whole year. If you are looking at March and an April check is already recorded, the balance goes negative. Move forward a month with the ‹ › arrows and it turns positive again.
  2. A real overpayment. Your employer paid a flat allowance, or a reimbursement was recorded twice. Open the Reimbursements panel and check the Payments list: each line can be edited or deleted with the icons on the right.

In the first case, nothing to do: the following trips absorb the advance and the balance returns to zero. In the second, correct the amount. In both cases, the counter shows everything reimbursed as long as the balance is zero or negative.

The PDF shows the same figure under Outstanding balance, with the detail due minus received: a negative amount clearly flags the overpayment to your employer or your accountant. Under an accountable plan, an excess reimbursement has to be returned to the employer, so the figure is worth watching.
