Anyone else have these problems?

I am awaiting a response from my auditor and wondering if anyone else has any ideas or have seen these issues:

1. I was PDO bumped from a trip that I had already deviated. I immediately requested that the trip be cancelled by Global Travel, which they did. However, on the new Foxy, I owe a minuscule amount of money and there is not a trip to associate the expense to. Any ideas?

2. I have many trips yet to fly this month and have one from April. I tried to submit the April deviation flight, but Foxy wouldn't let me continue unless I submitted for the entire month of June. At this time, I might change one of the deviations (I have yet to "officially deviate," but booked a ticket in case I do). Anyone else find a way around this???

Make copies of receipts, staple originals to expense report and drop it in the box. Something out of the ordinary happen during the month, just explain it somewhere on the expense report. Keep copies, just in case.

Disclosure

For those who are also confused by the disclosure box(yes/no), it is for IRS reporting purposes. As was xplain'd to me (thanks to my sponsor for the Foxy For Dummies tutorial) , if you deviate & buy a ticket with bank to/from MEM associated with a trip, it has tax ramifications.

I had a similar problem with submitting Apr. It wouldn't let me finish it until I went to the Credit Card tab and associated the May charges to the appropriate May trip (you have to do the same with airline tickets, but I didn't have any in Apr or May). I guess the system sees charges but won't let you submit any reports until they are associated with an activity.

I had to create the May expense report and assign those May charges to the May report before it would accept my Apr report submission.

I hope that helps.

I still have early May co. credit card charges that haven't shown up in FOXy, but are on my cc statement...

If was strongly suggested that the company really doesn't care what box you check. I guess it's just up to your conscience ... but it does have tax ramifications.
