CREATING EXPENSE REPORTS
There are essentially three steps to creating an Expense Report:
-
Enter general travel and expense information (the header information),
-
Enter the detailed expense line(s),
-
Attach receipts.
-
The detailed expense lines are entered for various types of expenses, such as airfare, lodging, meals and mileage. Each line will require you to enter the date the expense was incurred and an amount (or number of miles if a mileage expense type is used). You will also need to enter a description, the name of the merchant, the currency (if other than your base currency) and other information as required. If the item was purchased on your One Card, then you will be able to pull all this information from your 'My Wallet' functionality. For Per Diems, you will need to indicate your location, and also if any meals were not taken.
-
Expense reports will also require receipts to be attached to the online document. You must obtain and submit receipts for all expenses over $25 and all meals, regardless of cost. Documents must be scanned into an electronic file and then attached to the expense report. The scanned and attached receipts are then available for review by Expense Report Approvers, accountants and managers as needed.
