Travel Per Diem (TRPDM)

Travel Per Diem defines the various per diem rates for lodging, meals, and incidentals for a given location that are used when the Expense Type is Per Diem on an authorization or expense report. Records can be added manually or uploaded from files provided by the GSA, DOD, and DOS websites.

The Country, State, and County fields on the Travel Per Deim records must be consistent with those of the Destination records for the system to find a correct match during transaction processing. For example, if the Country Code is USA on a Destination record, then the Travel Per Deim bust be United States of America.

Two message codes can be utilized to control the creation of data: A7057 and B0021. Message Code A7057 prevents users from inserting a record without a corresponding Per Diem State regardless of the Per Diem Country. Message Code B0021 prevents users from inserting a record  when the Per Diem Country is United States and the Per Diem State is blank. If running the Update Per Diem job, it is recommended that A7057 be configured to Not Displayed and B0021 be configured to Error to prevent the failure of records when the State is missing in the file.
