The Payment Request expense report, in the Concur Travel and Expense System, is used to request reimbursement for non-travel expenses up to $500. It's also used to expense local travel-related expenses for which a travel request is not required (less than 150 miles one way and no overnight stay), and to reconcile Travel Coordinator T-Card charges for visitor travel costs. For example:
- Employee membership dues, local conference registration fees, or mileage to Denver for a local conference as per the Purchase Order vs Non-PO Payment Request Guideline.
- Visitor’s conference registration fee paid using a Travel Coordinator’s T-card as per UCAR Policy 5-7 Travel.
- Meeting-related costs incurred in accordance with the Miscellaneous Expense Guideline, such as business meals, catering, or meeting supplies.
- Non-travel related honorariums and stipends.

Payment Request Best Practices
- Employees should submit one Payment Request expense report per month. Unrelated expenses can go on the same expense report.
- When reconciling visitor related travel expenses on a Travel Coordinator’s T-Card, include the visitor’s approved travel request in the Request ID field when adding the transaction to the expense report.
- If a Payment Request expense report is for non-travel or local travel expenses, leave the Request ID field blank. Please do not enter “N/A” or “local” in the Request ID field as that creates a system integration failure which requires manual intervention by the AP team.
- All food-related expenses utilizing direct/indirect funds must have an itemized receipt, agenda, participant list, and Food & Beverage Questionnaire attached to the expense report.
- Payment Request expense reports for visitors must have a visitor certification attached to the expense report.
- Enter each receipt as a separate expense on the expense report. For example, if you have five parking receipts then you should have five corresponding parking expenses on the expense report.
