Enough detail should be included so anyone unfamiliar with travelers department or program will be able to determine the benefit to the UO. Details should include who traveled, what they did, why they traveled, and any details deemed important to explain the circumstances. Spell out acronyms.

Travelers can provide documentation to explain the business purpose, e.g. email confirming appointment, conference or meeting agenda, grant abstract, etc. When documentation is not available, travelers should provide a daily log to document a business purpose for all days for which expenses are claimed. The log should include dates, name(s) of the organization(s) involved; names and positions of individuals visited/consulted; places, monuments, or institutions visited; or other descriptions as appropriate. A description of the activity should be specific and mention, for example, the research topic, paper title, etc., as appropriate.
