Meal Per Diem and Lodging - How to use Travel Allowance tool

When you create your report, you will need to create an itinerary if you will be claiming lodging and/or meals. If you don't do this step when you create the report, you can add it later.

Steps to Complete

1.) Available itinerary

If an itinerary was built into the Request and the date has passed, it will show in your available itineraries. You may have to adjust the search in the drop-down if your travel was not recent. Click on the title of the itinerary to select it, then click Assign.

2.) Create New Itinerary

Click on Travel Allowance > Manage Travel Allowance > Create New Itinerary.
Complete all required fields for the first stop. Enter the city/destination where your business will be conducted, not the connecting cities or airport. (e.g. Denver vs. Colorado Springs.)
This is the travel day. Concur will calculate per diem for this day at 75% of the allowance for the destination. You don't need to check any boxes for meal allowances to remove meals on the travel day.
Click Save.

3.) Complete all required fields for second stop

This should be the return travel day. If you have multiple stops, for example Eugene to Seattle for several days business, then on to Denver for additional business, then return to Eugene, then enter each leg of the itinerary. In this example, you would have 3 lines. This way, Concur can calculate the correct per diem for each city.
Click the "Save" button and then the "Next" button to view the meal per diem allowance table.

4.) Meals provided

If meals were provided, click in the box for that meal on the grid. Do not exclude any meals on travel days. Concur automatically calculates 75% of GSA for those days. In this example, lunch was provided each day.

5.) Adding expenses paid with either UO Lodge Card or One Card

If hotel was paid on One Card, click on the Add Expense button. In the pop-up window select the card transaction from the Available Expense list then click the Add to Report button

6.) Hotel paid with personal card

If hotel was paid with personal card, Add Expense, select Create New Expense, type the expense or select Lodging from expense types listed.

7.) Create hotel expense

Select Hotel from the Expense Types on the right side of the screen. Complete the required fields, enter any info or comments that may be helpful to explain unusual circumstances.
Click the Itemizations tab. Enter Check in Date. Room Rate, Room tax. Any additional charges such as parking can be added in the Additional Charges section.

8.) Attach Receipt for lodging
