PeopleSoft Expenses provides Hotel Wizard for you to quickly split a Hotel/Lodging expense type into multiple expense lines. For example, a hotel bill may enter your expenses system through a credit card feed as one expense transaction. Use Hotel Wizard to create expense lines for room charges for each day of a business trip and to separate charges for telephone calls, laundry service, room service, and parking. You can track, report, and book these items individually and daily. If you must make any adjustments after you complete Hotel Wizard, you may use the receipt split functionality to reconcile the bill later.

Use the Itemize Hotel Bill page (TE_WIZARD_MAIN) to split hotel bills into itemized expenses.

General Hotel Bill Information

The data in this section comes from the information that you entered on the Create Expense Report page. You can modify fields just as you did when you originally added the expense item.

Field or Control

Description

Checkout Date

Select to indicate that the value in the Transaction Date field is the last day of the hotel stay. If selected, PeopleSoft Expenses starts from the transaction date and creates expense lines moving backward in time.

Deselect the check box to indicate that the value in the Transaction Date field is the first day of the hotel stay. If not selected, PeopleSoft Expenses starts from the transaction date and creates expense lines moving forward in time.

If the hotel transaction is from a credit card fee, PeopleSoft Expenses automatically selects the Checkout Date check box. If you manually entered the Hotel/Lodging expense type on the expense report, PeopleSoft Expenses deselects this check box. In either case, you can override the default for the check box as necessary.
