Employee Profile - Transportation Information Page

EX_EE_TRANSPORT

Review, add, delete, or modify transportation type data for an employee.

Mileage reimbursement requires that you establish certain transportation information. PeopleSoft Expenses requires different information, depending on whether you use Standard mileage reimbursement or Variable Rate reimbursement.

PeopleSoft Expenses allows employees the ability to update the transportation information for their own profiles. Employees and auditors can delete a record or update all fields in the transportation Identification table (except for the Transportation ID field) providing that there are no kilometers or miles associated with that Transportation ID in the Distance Traveled table.

After miles or kilometers are accrued for a transportation ID, PeopleSoft Expenses does not allow employees or auditors to delete the line. PeopleSoft Expenses does allow you to change the Status (Active and Inactive) and Status Date fields and the Lease Flag and Car Allowance Flag check boxes.

Note: The Employee Profile - Transportation Information page is available only if the distance rate associated with the employee's SetID, expense type, and country is set to Varied.

Use the Employee Profile - Transportation Information page (EX_EE_TRANSPORT) to review, add, delete, or modify transportation data for an employee.
