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 for a trip or that pertain to one business purpose, organize them by TCard or Cash, and by expense type, then scan and save them on your computer's desktop. You may upload them as soon as you are ready to submit the expense report. You may also fax receipts and supporting documents if desired.
    • Create individual files for all Airfare and Lodging receipts, as these will need to be attached individually to the corresponding line in the expense report.
    • All other receipts and supporting documents can be scanned into a single file 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.
