The Department Travel Policy by Expense Type (TRPETD) page allows the user to define department-level exceptions to state-wide travel policies for an entire Department or for a Unit within a Department. The TRPETD table includes all of the same controls and options that are available on the Travel Policy by Expense Type (TRPET) table, except it is not keyed by Travel Policy/Expense Type because these exceptions span across different travel policies. It should be noted that use of TRPETD is not required. If no TRPETD records are established for a Department/Unit/Expense Type combination, then the options established on TRPET for the Travel Policy/Expense Type combination will apply during Travel transaction processing.
The Department Travel Policy by Expense Type page contains the following tabs:
General Information – This tab defines the attributes of the Department Travel Policy by Expense Type record. Note: More than one record can be defined for the same Department/Unit/Expense Type combination as long as the Effective From and Effective To dates do not overlap.
Expense Options – This tab defines the travel policy’s defaults/restrictions for a particular expense type.
Advance Options – This tab defines the travel policy’s restrictions related to advances for a particular expense type.
