I am on the per diem entitlements page. Under where it says lodging it reads "personal" which I assume is to pay my bank card for lodging I paid out of pocket. I need to change that from "personal" to "GOVT" or whatever the option is to pay the govt travel card. Everyone in the team house is out so if any of you guys can shed some light, I will be here ripping the few strands of hairs I have left trying to figure this out. thanks

Ok found it!

1. Click on Expenses (top bar) and "Per Diem Entitlements" on the bar under it.
2. Down next to lodging click on "view expense details/currency calculator"
3. You should be able to change "Method of Reimbursement" to "GOVCC-Individual"


Hope this works!

If it doesn't let me know I'm logged in now so can mess around with it.

when I do that it only says "govt funded/contract" or personal. Further more if I do click government funded/contract and save it, it does not allow me to enter the amount I want to pay.

SFC (Join to see) government funded means they paid for it out of an account. Not your card.

If the government individual card doesn't show up it means it's not loaded into the system properly. You can leave it as personal and then pay the card yourself, or your admin folks should be able to get your card correctly loaded but my guess would be that has to wait until Monday.

Ive had this problem before. What you are describing is direct billing to lodging. You don't want that. That is an option of the government is going to directly pay the hotel. There is an error in your profile. In your case you have it pay personal. You will need to pay your gtc directly once the bill comes. Your profile is not recognizing your gtc correctly.

After words you want to goto who ever handles dts for you fix your profile.

The best thing to do is to find your DTS clerk. But if that doesn't work try finding your post G8. They should be able to help
