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.

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 New Reimbursement button. The Travel Reimbursement document opens and is completed with information from the source document.

8.  Select a due date and payment method.

9.  Click the Submit button to send the Travel Reimbursement into Workflow.
