When would a Contsructed Travel Worksheet (CTW) be used.
Certain selections such as Mileage, Private Auto – To/From TDY requires you to complete a Constructed Travel Worksheet (CTW). A message appears if the expense warrants the CTW. Constructed travel assumes the traveler wants to (or did) travel using a transportation mode the AO did not direct. The traveler completes the authorization showing the cost of the trip using their preferred transportation mode. If any en route travel leg is over 400 miles one way, they must complete CTW to show the constructed cost of the directed transportation mode (e.g., commercial air), and attach it to the authorization.
What is the last thing required on the authorization before submitting it to be routed?
The stamped digital signature.
True or False:
If the AO does the group authorization for 20 people, they also have to do the vouchers.
When the AO stamps the group authorization APPROVED, DTS automatically creates the individual authorizations for each traveler, with a unique travel authorization number (TANUM). Upon completion of group travel, each traveler creates an individual voucher for reimbursement of incurred expenses and earned allowances, attaches all required receipts and justifies all Pre-Audit flags and Reason Codes.
