A:  There are many benefits to utilizing Chrome River, that include but are not limited to; the system is intuitive and user-friendly; automated approvals (that allow for tracking); built in edit checks that help verify compliance before submission; eliminates paper waste by managing receipts within the system and speeds up the reimbursement process.

Q:  What Benefits will the Traveler Experience?
A:  Chrome River is a fast, fluid mobile web application that offers the latest in travel and expense management. Travelers will enjoy the same user experience across all devices 鈥� desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. The business rules engine in the application will assist travelers in complying with State of Kansas and WSU policies more efficiently by applying those policies as the Expense Report is created. This prevents downstream delays in processing reimbursements by eliminating much of the back and forth that currently happens as reports are audited. The application provides multiple options for attaching receipts to transactions, which will greatly increase efficiency and decrease processing time for reimbursements. Just imagine completing your Expense Report from your smartphone with snapshots of receipts while you wait in the airport for your flight home!

Q:  Will all travelers/cardholders enter their own documents (Pre-Approval, Expense Report, Pcard Reconciliation Reports) themselves or does Chrome River allow for delegates?

To assign a delegate, the traveler/cardholder (expense owner) will log into Chrome River, then tap their name displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.  This will open up the user menu.  Select Settings, then select Delegate Settings from the menu displayed on the left side of the screen.  In the section labeled 鈥淢y Delegates鈥� click the Add New Delegates link.  In the field that appears, begin typing the name of the person you would like to assign as your delegate.  When you have located the appropriate name, click on the name to select it.  That person鈥檚 name should now appear in the My Delegates section with an 鈥淴鈥� directly to the left of it.  Click your name in the upper right corner to return to the user menu and select Logout to exit Chrome River.

Q:  How do I handle it when a candidate or student does not have a vendor id when I am ready to create an Expense Report?

---

Q:  If I have Pcard charges loading to my profile each day, do I have to wait until the statement closes to begin my Pcard Reconciliation?
A:  No, you can begin reconciling Pcard charges as soon as they appear in Chrome River.  Users are encouraged to start a Pcard Reconciliation (Non-Travel) Report on the first day of the new statement cycle (if you are going to utilize your card during the cycle).  Then as transactions load to Chrome River, you can reconcile individual charges and add them to that cycles Pcard Reconciliation (Non-Travel) Report.  At the end of the statement cycle when all transactions have been accounted for and reconciled, the user can submit the report.
