Per Diem in Expense Reports
In web2expense users can enter per diem based expenses into their expense reports. Each year the United States General Services Administration (GSA) publishes per diem rates for the Continental United States (CONUS). These rates vary by location and travel period.
CONUS rates are included in web2expense. The prerequisites to use these rates are as follows:
-
Employee(s) must be assigned to “FEDERAL” expense policy type.
-
Employee(s) must create a travel itinerary for the trip.
-
Employee(s) must select expense report type with travel and itinerary.
Once the prerequisite conditions are met, web2expense automatically fills the per diem rates for the cities traveled. Additionally, the system checks for travel dates and adjusts locality rates for seasonal changes.
Users also have the ability to exclude any per diem expense, such as a lunch or dinner, for a particular date if that meal is provided for by the event that they attended.
