Trip Information section field definitions

Title	Description
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. If this box was checked on the Travel Authorization it will be checked on the Travel Reimbursement. If it has been checked on the Travel Authorization, the Travel Reimbursement can be submitted if the number of days delinquent would enforce a hard stop. If this box is not checked, the system will enforce a hard stop and the initiator will need to contact the Travel Manager to request an exception. 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.
Final Reimbursement	Indicates whether this reimbursement is the final reimbursement for the trip. Check the box to indicate that this is the final reimbursement.
