Ani Kokobobo was frustrated with the requirement of getting pre-approval or an after the fact exception to pay for the full lodging stay upfront as existing State P-card policy said only one night in advance payment was allowed. This created problems for our travelers who use AirBnbs and for some hotels that required upfront payment to reserve rooms. We evaluated our policies and because KU/KUCR has our own P-Card program, we were able to remove that pre-approval requirement to make it easier on our travelers.
