Per Diem 

 >  >   >  >

The Per Diem document is used to maintain per diem rates for living expenses in different countries and states. Your institution obtains this data by periodically downloading it from the U.S government’s General Services Administration web site.

     While the Create New, Edit and Copy links currently display, this table should not be updated through the UI. It should be used only to query existing rates. If a destination is not listed in this table, the user should use the Destination Not Found button on the Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursement documents. The create new, edit and copy features will be removed in a future release.
