Making the Transition to MyTravel and Entertainment

When making the transition from the old paper-based system to MyTravel, there will be some crossover. Transactions that get imported to your profile may have been paid in the old way; and you may have transactions that miss the initial import but are related to reports you'll be creating in MyTravel.

The instructions on this page are designed to help you minimize any confusion during the transition phase. If your questions aren't answered here, try our FAQ page or contact us.

Corporate Card

Beginning ten days before you join MyTravel, your Corporate Card transactions will be imported into the system daily. If you find any imported transactions that were already claimed on the old paper voucher system, add them to an expense report and mark the "Personal or Non-Reimbursable Expense" box for those items. This will remove the transactions from the imported expenses list and avoid a duplicate payment to your card.

If you have expenses to report that include Corporate Card charges that did not make it into MyTravel (e.g., were too early), then report the whole trip/entertainment using the paper/DaFIS process.

CTS/YCAL

Starting one week prior to your joining MyTravel, direct billed airfare booked through the CTS or YCAL approved travel agencies will be imported into the system weekly. If an imported transaction was already claimed on the old paper voucher system, send the traveler's name, transaction date and transaction amount to mytravel@ucdavis.edu to have the imported transaction cleared.

If you have expenses to report that include CTS/YCAL charges that did not make it into MyTravel (e.g., were too early), report the whole trip using the paper/DaFIS process.

Pre-trip payment

As of June 2006, approved pre-trip payment transactions began importing into the system daily. If you have pre-trip payments, including cash advances, in MyTravel that were already processed through paper reports, send an e-mail to mytravel@ucdavis.edu. Include the traveler's name, transaction date, and transaction amount, and request that we remove them because they were cleared on paper.

If you have expenses to report that include pre-trip payments that did not make it into MyTravel (e.g., were too early), report the whole trip using the paper/DaFIS process.
