Xuejun Zhang expressed that the Concur calculation of partial day per diem travel inputs were inaccurate for KUCR line item. She suggested that this calculation be adjusted to keep KU Departments aligned with the Travel policy and prevent the need for multiple administrative reviews. This led to where are today with Concur being the system of record for per diem calculations and is now standard across both KUCR and KU, resulting in quicker turnaround times for Travel TER submissions and reimbursements. This was implemented as part of our Pay in 30 project.
