What is the business reason for eliminating travel advances issued through the Accounts Payable Office?

The processing cost associated with the travel advance procedures is the business reason. The department must enter a requisition in PeopleSoft and obtain appropriate approval, then the Purchasing Office must create a purchase order and route it to the Accounts Payable Office, where a check is generated. Once the expense report is submitted and processed, the Accounts Payable Office must reconcile the report with the advance to close out the purchase order. Cash withdrawal from an ATM is a simpler and more cost effective method of obtaining cash for a trip. (See also FAQs regarding Travel Card.)
