To facilitate timely reporting and/or reimbursement to a traveler, your TR is to be submitted within 5 days of your return. Once all the information is received, it is entered into the purchasing system via Workflow and has to go through approval ques for the department spending the money, which may take up to 24 hours. It then feeds to Accounts Payable to generate a check; checks are cut nightly and mailed the next day or sent through direct deposit routing. If several travelers go to the same conference or event, ALL the TAs have to be submitted with corresponding documentation before ANY of the TRs can be processed, whether there is a reimbursement or not.
As a general rule, reimburements are processed within 3 business days after they are received in the Accounts Payable office.
