Audit Rule warning for expense entry within 2 days of current date

[paul_smith]

We are looking to implement an Audit Rule warning for any out of pocket expense entry that is within 2 days of the current system date informing employees that they should check to ensure that this is not a corporate card transaction (which would normally takes 3-5 days to feed into Concur).

Whilst I can see that there is the ability to do this based on the transaction date, I could not find the object for current system date.

Appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how we can implement a check like this?

Hi @paul_smith ,

May I know, what does it mean by within 2 days of current date? within next 2 future days or within last 2 past days? 

If you could give example with some date when to trigger warning then that would be helpful for me to understand what you are exactly expecting. 

Based on your input, I can think of logic.

Hi Pooja,

It would be within the past 2 days - for example if the system date was 04 February 2025, we would like an alert for expense entries with a transaction date of 02 or 03 February 2025.

Regards,

Paul

Hello, I followed your guidelines for my problem, but used another value.  And it does not appear to work would you be able to see what I am doing wrong.  This is for testing so I am limiting to my id until I see it works.   I want my warning message to come up when I have a Transaction Date entered and saved which is 30 days beyond current date.   Example today is 2/23/2026 and the Transaction date is March 30.  Clearly outside the 30 days.    Here is my logic.

Hi @washinj ,

Your logic is correct. However, when calculating the number of days manually, you are including today in the count. The calculation should start from tomorrow’s date.

Also, as per the condition name “Not Within Today”, today should not be included in the counting.

Todays date - 24/2/26

Tomorrow's date - 25/2/26 (start counting)

Check below testing screenshot and simplification for your easy understanding:

Hope it helps!

Thanks very much for the lesson on how the day count works.  I am back in business.
