Creating a Travel Reimbursement Document from another Travel Document

If you have created a Travel Authorization document for your trip and if it has been approved and finalized, you may create one or more Travel Reimbursement documents from it. Similarly, if you have already created a travel reimbursement request and the document is final, you may create other reimbursement requests for the same trip on it. To create a reimbursement request from either type of document:

1.    Use the appropriate custom document search to find the existing Travel Authorization or Reimbursement document for the trip.

       For information about using the custom document search function, see Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursement under Custom Document Searches.

2.    In the Document Id column of the search results table, click the Document Number link.

3.    The system opens the Travel Authorization or Travel Reimbursement.

4.    At the bottom of the document, click . The Travel Reimbursement document opens and is completed with information from the source document.

       If the source document is a Travel Authorization, expenses entered on the Travel Authorization will fill in on the Travel Reimbursement unless they were previously claimed on another Travel Reimbursement .

       This button will not display if another Travel Reimbursement is Enroute, or the Travel Authorization has been placed on hold.

5.    Change, delete and add information to accurately report activities and expenses for the trip.
