The M&IE Breakdown (TRMIEB) page allows authorized users to define meal and incidental rates by Source ID and M&IE Rate. This page provides the ability to define and store M&IE breakdown information that will be used for travel processing and expense reporting. The M&IE Breakdown table is used to determine the M&IE breakdown in per diem expense validations on the Travel transactions. A breakdown is needed if the entire M&IE per diem rate is not applicable because the traveler is only expensing some (but not all) of the meals and incidentals.
For GSA, the M&IE Breakdown page will store the M&IE breakdowns that are applicable to the continental United States (CONUS) per diem rates. For DOS, the M&IE Breakdown page will store the M&IE breakdowns that are applicable to the foreign per diem rates. DOD does not use M&IE breakdowns; instead their per diem download files include Proportional Meal Rate values, which are recorded on the Travel Per Diem (TRPDM) page.
The M&IE Breakdown page contains the following tab:
General Information – This tab defines the breakdown of the M&IE Rate.
