Trip Information section field definitions

Title	Description
Blanket Travel	This field will display if the Trip Type selected allows for Blanket Travel. To indicate that this is a Blanket Travel Authorization, check the box. In order to submit a Blanket Travel Authorization, the traveler’s TEM Profile must have a default account. Expenses and Accounting Lines cannot be added to Blanket Travel Authorizations.
Business Purpose	Required. The purpose of the trip.
Delinquent TR Exception	Displays only for the Travel Manager if the Trip is delinquent. The trip is delinquent when the system date is greater than the trip end date plus the lowest value in NUMBER_OF_DAYS_DELINQUENT parameter. Once the Traveler Manager clicks this box, they would save the Travel Authorization. The box remains editable and they can check/uncheck the box to control Travel Reimbursement routing. If the Travel Authorization is delinquent, the Travel Manager can check the Delinquent TR Exception, if they do that then the Travel Reimbursement will not route to Special Request Reviewer for approval prior to going to the Fiscal Officer. The parameter NUMBER_OF_DAYS_DELINQUENT can also control Travel Reimbursement initiation, if the number of days delinquent is associated with a W (Warning) then the Travel Reimbursement can be initiated without Travel Manager intervention, however, the Travel Reimbursement will route to Special Request Approval prior to the Fiscal Officer. If the day’s delinquent is associated with an S (Stop), the Travel Reimbursement cannot be initiated until the Travel Manager marks the Delinquent TR Exception on the TA.
