Travel

Since Concur does not establish encumbrances in Banner for travel expenses, any trips processed in Concur are automatically paid out from the current fiscal year's funding once reviewed and keyed for payment.

FY24 travel expenses require processing prior to the fiscal year rollover in order to hit FY24 funding. Contact the Travel Customer Service Office (TCSO) for help with expense reports and card transactions that need resolution before the fiscal year ends.

  • Purchases made with the Travel Agency Card or UA Travel Card are held on a general ledger until assigned to and processed on an expense report in Concur. You can request and book Fund 1 FY25 travel prior to July 1, 2024 with no further action needed, as these charges are applied in the fiscal year in which the expense report is processed (FY25).
  • All FY24 travel (start date prior to July 1, 2024) must have an expense report processed, approved and submitted for payment by July 12, 2024.
    • Concur expense reports processed after July 12 are charged to FY25 regardless of travel dates.
    • In order to ensure meeting this processing deadline, we recommend submitting Concur expense reports before July 5, 2024.

For Fund 1 FY25 travel purchases such as lodging deposits for non-employees or registration fees that require purchasing before July 1. on a ProCard with approved waiver:

  • Reconcile in PaymentNet 4 to the UAF prepaid travel balance sheet using accounting 103010-no org-0446. In the notes section put the Request ID, "FY25 travel" and the correct accounting to be charged.
  • Email a copy of the purchase and the authorization to the TCSO at uaf-travel@alaska.edu  with the subject line 鈥淔Y25 Prepaid Travel,鈥 the Request ID and the traveler鈥檚 last name.
  • After June 30 and before July 31, the ProCard reconciler must prepare a JV to move amounts encumbered on 103010-no org-0446 to the correct funding source.
