Allocating Expenses within a Travel Request

These instructions cover how to allocate expenses to a different Division, Department, Fund, Class, Program, or Project and how to split funds between multiple parties on a travel request. For information on how to fill out a travel request, refer to Travel Request.

  • If a different Division, Department, Fund, Class, Program, or Project will be paying for the entire or most of the trip, select the Request Header Allocations.
  • If a different Division, Department, Fund, Class, Program, or Project will partially cover the expenses, select the Travel Request Expense Allocations.

Click on any of the links below to skip ahead to that section.

  • If the trip includes Auxiliary and State funding, you will need to leave the funds as state funds and complete an ETR after the trip to transfer the funds to Auxiliary funding.
  • If ASC fully funds the trip, you will not complete a travel request in Concur. You will follow ASC’s travel process.
