New online submission form available to assist with travel expense reporting process

A new online submission form is now available to assist those who travel on official University-related business with the travel expense reporting process.

Last year, Purdue Travel announced that travel expense reports would be centralized through its department. The transition from having travelers submit their own expense reports to having the Purdue Travel department compile the travel expense report on a traveler’s behalf was completed in December. 

During that time, travelers or their delegates were given two methods to submit expenses for reimbursement upon returning from travel:  

• Add business expense receipts to the receipt store in the Concur mobile app. If travel was booked through Concur, Purdue Travel will reach out to the traveler or delegate to initiate the expense report process. 
• Attach business expense receipts in an email to purduetravel@purdue.edu.Travelers or their delegates must initiate this process on their own. 

Now, the online form will assist with the expense reporting process and the following changes will be made to the two submission methods:

• Add business expense receipts to the receipt store in the Concur mobile app. If travel was booked through Concur, Purdue Travel will reach out to the traveler or delegate with the form to obtain additional information to complete the expense report.
• Instead of emailing purduetravel@purdue.edu for the second method, travelers or their delegates must submit receipts and expenses that were not booked through Concur or Anthony Travel through the online form. 

If receipts have already been submitted to purduetravel@purdue.edu, do not resubmit using the form as it will create duplicate records.

The online form can also be found on the Purdue Travel website. Questions may be directed to Purdue Travel at 765-496-7354 or purduetravel@purdue.edu.
