Okay. Either you and I are completely missing on the communication skill set, or you're using a very different expense report system than I.
When I incur a GT charge on my credit card from my local limo company, it shows up in my expense report. I assign it to the appropriate section of my trip. Since I live near ORD and I'm going from my house to the passenger terminal (as an example) at ORD, I type in the three letters. O - R - D in my origin. I do the same thing for the destination... O - R - D. Then I select (from the pull down menu) "Residence" for the origin specific since the limo is picking me up at my house. I select "Airport" for the destination pull down menu since I'm going to the passenger terminal to catch a deviation deadhead. I have yet to be denied or given any kind of push-back on any GT expense I've entered this way.
MEM is not "the only option". In fact, it's not even one of the options since there are none. I can type whatever three-letter code I want in both the origin field and destination field. Please explain to me what I'm missing here. You can see below, a screen shot of a GT entry from my last expense report. No problems telling the system that, 1 - My GT started and ended in the ORD vicinity and 2 - was from my residence to the airport.
So, how is it exactly that you are unable to enter the Olive Branch 3-letter ID in the same situation and are somehow forced to use MEM?
