The Per Diem Expenses tab is used in both the Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursement documents. It is called Estimated Per Diem Expenses in the Travel Authorization, but the layout is the same. It allows you to calculate allowable expenses for meals, incidentals, lodging, and mileage when per diem or set rates are used for trip expenses. Use of this tab is optional in both documents.
The system displays the Per Diem Expenses tab only after you specify a destination in the Trip Information Section of the Trip Overview tab. When the tab is first displayed and per diem is allowed for the selected Trip Type, the button displays. To create a per diem table showing allowable expenses for each day of the trip, click the button. If the Trip Type does not allow Per Diem, message "Per Diem entry is not allowed for this Trip Type” displays instead of the button.
For detailed information about displaying and working with the per diem table for a trip, see Working in the Per Diem Tab.
The example below shows the per diem table for a three-day international trip.
This tab contains two subsections, Per Diem Expenses and Grand Totals.
