The Controller's Office is rolling out a new way to submit goods and services for reimbursement, similar to the travel and entertainment reimbursement process. Now you can create an expense report in the reimbursement system(link is external) for "other expenses" in addition to your travel and entertainment expenses. These types of expenses are those covered in UCOP Policy BUS-43(link is external) and include lab supplies, conference registration, office supplies, computers, memberships, office relocation, and more. More information about the new process for submitting other expense reimbursements is available on the Controller's Office website. (link is external)
Watch a short video(link is external) on how to use the reimbursement system for other expenses and how to approve an expense report(link is external) if you are an approver.
The Controller's Office is currently piloting this process with volunteer departments. We're gathering feedback and finalizing the updates to the reimbursement system. In early 2020, we'll begin rolling the new process out to campus.
If you have questions about this new process, or you would like to schedule a demonstration for your team, please reach out to me at dparnas@berkeley.edu(link sends e-mail).
Thank you,
