T&E Enhancements - September 2011


Based on feedback received since the Travel & Expense system (T&E) was implemented, several changes have been implemented to enhance the user experience and more are on the way.  At this time, we would like to alert you to some important enhancements that are now available.

Per Diems
Domestic per diem rates, which are updated annually, will be available in the T&E system effective October 1.  These rates will remain in effect until September 30, 2012.

Foreign per diem rates have been updated.  They will now reflect the current date of travel. 

Location! Location! Location!
There are now more than 30,000 domestic locations loaded in T&E from the Department of Defense.  This is a significant increase in the number of options available to you when specifying travel destinations.

The format used to identify locations in the system and the associated search functionality have also been enhanced, making it easier to search for both domestic and international locations.
