University faculty members often travel to conferences to present research papers. The associated expenses are reimbursed through a business process called Travel Expense Reimbursement. The travel reimbursement process occurs after the faculty returns from a trip and starts with the faculty member filling out an expense form. The faculty member then submits the completed form to the department chair for review and approval. The department chair can make one of three decisions regarding the reimbursement request; he can reject the request as a non-reimbursable expense which ends to process, he can return it to the faculty member for corrections, or he can approve it. If the expenses are approved, the department chair sends the form to accounts payable for check processing. The accounts payable department checks the form for errors and distributes a check to the faculty member if everything is in order. If the account payable department identifies any errors in the request it is returned to the faculty member for correction. If corrections are required by the accounts payable office the faculty member must correct the form and then send it back to the department chair for re-approval. If approved, the form is sent back to accounts payable which will again verify the information and either send it back for additional corrections or accept it and distribute the check.
