TRAVEL expenses paid on a Department PCard must be reassigned to the traveler so they can insert their SA# (Spend Authorization #) in the expensing entry. The traveler is to do this within 7 business days of the transaction date. (The card manager is responsible for all NON-TRAVEL related purchases.)
To REASSIGN an expense to another employee:
Log into Workday, in SEARCH type Reassign Expense Credit Card Transactions or a short version of that and hit enter. (Less is more when typing in the Search bar.)

When an employee is traveling for business and a third party is covering all the costs:
A spend authorization should still be submitted, but it can be submitted for $1 using the Travel Incidentals expense item.
It should be made clear in the business justification that a third party is paying all travel costs and no expenses will be processed through the University. It also needs to be clear the dates of travel, destination and purpose of the trip.

Uber/Lyft/rideshare apps are considered to have “clickwrap” agreements. When you are ordering or creating an account online get a message like “by clicking here I agree to terms and conditions”, this is considered a clickwrap agreement and the T&Cs must first be reviewed and approved by the legal team at OSU Purchasing prior to agreeing and continuing with payment.
From past experience we know the University cannot agree to the T&Cs of rideshare apps, so we cannot create accounts under the University’s name.

Comparison Worksheet:
A travel Comparison Worksheet is needed when traveling to a neighboring state as sometimes a rental car is cheaper than using a personal vehicle.
One thing to note is the system doesn’t always provide a location for the destination and the traveler has to choose “All Other Continental US Locations, United States of America” - this is why it is vital that an agenda is attached with the “where/when/why” detailed and adding city/state to the Justification field is very helpful.

Please only create ONE BLANKET Spend Authorization, even if using multiple Worktags - this can be done with multiple lines on the SA.
Preference is that it covers the entire year- July 1 current year – June 30 following year (though SAs can be done July to December and again January to June).
