New and Improved Travel Spend Reports Now Available

  1. The Travel Spend Report available in ProTrav (Procurement Card and Travel Web Based Application) has been redesigned to offer users more options and to provide more information. 

The redesign provides all users (travelers, reconcilers, and *Org/Dept Administrators) a valuable tool to review and report on travel related expenses that have posted to general ledger (GL).

This enhanced reporting tool should facilitate improved budgetary oversight of travel related costs.
   
Report changes/enhancements include:

  • Option to generate report by individual traveler(s) or group of travelers or by MFK
  • Ability to specify GL posting date range of report
  • Ability to generate either a summary or a detailed report
  • Detailed report now includes spend by individual expense type (airfare, mileage, etc.)
  • Ability to export report to excel or CSV

The data included in the reports will be limited to those individuals to whom you have access.  

Report restrictions are as follows;

  • All users will be able to generate reports on their own travel spend
  • Reconcilers may generate reports on all of their “my Travelers” (individuals for whom they regularly create Trips and Travel vouchers)
  • Upper Level Administrators* can generate reports for all travelers in their Org and/or Org/Dept

*Org/Dept Administrators can be granted the Upper Level role to view Travel Expense Vouchers, Procurement Card Vouchers or both at an Organizational or Departmental level.   If you have budgetary responsibilities for your area, and do not currently have the “Upper Level role” click here to complete the access request form. 

Please review links below for complete reporting instructions; 

 

  1. ProTrav has a Freight Report available for basic and upper level users.  This report allows users to review and download freight detail for UPS and Federal Express transactions processed on the University of Iowa Procurement Card.

Please review the link below for complete reporting instructions;

Questions about any of these reporting options can be directed to protrav@uiowa.edu
