New Enhancements to the Travel Center & Policy Updates

 

Travel Center Enhancements

Three major travel enhancements have been added to the Travel Center.  Please review Travel Center Enhancements for May 2016 for details.  The enhancements include:

  • Late Entry Justification.  A new comment field has been added to the travel reimbursement page.  This field will appear if the traveler has entered a reimbursement greater than 60 days past the travel end date.  The traveler will be required to enter a justification to document the reason why the travel reimbursement is being filed late.
  • Comment History.  Multiple comments can now be saved and retrieved through the new Comment History link
  • Blanket Travel Authorization.  A Blanket type authorization has been added to the travel authorization page  and may be selected from  travel on a routine and repeating basis and generally for similar activities which make it impractical to obtain specific trip approvals.  The travel authorization should be entered on a fiscal year basis with effective dates from July 1st – June 30th for domestic travel only.  See attached guideline for additional details
