To enter a daily per diem rate for a specific date range within an Expense Report, search for "Meals Per Diem" as the Expense Item. For both employees and non-employees, options for Domestic and International (Expense Reports Only) rates will be available.

Use the “Custom” option only in circumstances where the standard Meals Per Diem selections cannot accommodate the situation (e.g., when using various Worktags). A justification is required when using the Custom option, along with a screenshot of the applicable Meals Per Diem rate to support the reimbursable amount.
