Frequently Asked Questions
How to process travel authorizations created in the current system?
• Travel that begins in the old system will be finished in the old system using the current process.
Will scanning work with PaperCut installed on my MFD?
• Yes.
What is the process for non-employee travel (ex. students)?
• These persons will need to be added as vendors with classification of “Stu Travel.” Based on this classification a non-employee ID will be assigned.
Is a travel authorization created if I am using the P-card?
• Yes, if the travel is out-of-state or international. However, the P-card expenses are not entered as expenses on the travel authorization. Only expenses to be reimbursed are entered.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I use the P-card and do not know what expenses are going to be reimbursed, do I still create a travel authorization?
• Yes. Use the expense description “ST-NO REIMBURSABLE EXPENSE” or “RS-NO REIMBURSABLE EXPENSE.” A $1.00 encumbrance will be created with account 125999. This will be periodically relieved centrally for completed travel.
How do I reduce the meal allowance if meals are provided?
• Identify the meals provided in the comments, and enter the applicable meals to be reimbursed on the expense report.
Can I use one travel authorization for multiple expense reports?
• No. If an employee submits additional expenses after the travel has occurred, contact central accounting services for direction.
What if my traveler did not complete a travel authorization?
• Instruct the traveler on proper procedures, and contact central accounting services for direction.
