Expense October 2016 Release Notes


Expense 14.0.0 Enhancements (October 19, 2016)

Deem Expense Meal Per Diems Update

  • Description: The Deem Expense Per Diem feature now allows you to utilize the government-defined General Services Administration (GSA) rates to guide a reimbursement policy for meal specific expense types.
  • Benefit:  GSA rates are based upon the geographical location of the meal expense, allowing the system to dynamically present the allotted breakfast, lunch, and dinner amounts once the submitter enters the city and state of the meal expense. In other words, the system automatically compensates for cost of living in various places. For example, a traveler going to New York City will be allowed to spend $74.00 a day on meals vs. $59.00 a day in Des Moines, Iowa.
  • Site Admin Experience: To configure expense per diem with GSA please see  Setting Up Expense Types to modify the enhancement. 

Expense Type – Per Diem configuration enhancement


  • End User Experience: Allows the traveler to submit the full date range of their trip, creating meal expenses in bulk, saving the user time, and increasing expense accuracy. Submitters have the ability to edit per diems on all levels to compensate for meals included with their hotel stay and any other non-per diem behaviors during the trip. Lastly, the system automatically factors in the GSA calculation adjustment for per diem amounts on the days of travel.
