How To:  Create a Relocation Expense Report

Before You Start

All transactions related to an employee's relocation should be included in one expense report. Policy on relocation is available in Policy 2.1.20 of the Admin Guide.

  • It is recommended that you create and save your Preferences before entering your first expense report: General preferences, frequently used Allocations, customized Approver information and Events.
  • Collect all receipts, scan them and make them available for submitting on your computer's desktop. You may also fax receipts and supporting documents if desired.

Notes:

  1. If a Stanford Travel Card (TCard) was used, the TCard validator must be the preparer for the expense report.
  2. The person being relocated, if already an employee, must be entered as the Payee.
  3. If you need to reimburse someone who is not yet an employee for out-of-pocket expenses, create a Non-SU Payee Expense Report. See How To: Create Domestic / Foreign Expense Report for Non-SU Payee.
