PUM / Advance Payment Control
Advance payments (PUM) are issued without a clear rule for when a new advance can be blocked due to unresolved prior settlements.
Business Situation
An employee requests a new travel advance while a previous trip's settlement may still be outstanding.
Current Pain
Without a systematic check, new advances get approved even when prior obligations haven't been settled, creating growing exposure.

DisbursedA configurable blocking rule checks outstanding settlements before a new advance is approved, so the exception has to be a deliberate decision rather than an oversight.
Governance Controls
- PUM blocking rule on unresolved settlements
- Advance limit by role or policy
- Approval authority for exceptions
Expected Business Benefit
Reduced outstanding advance exposure and a clear, enforced rule instead of a manual check someone might skip.
