What information is required when entering travel expenses in DTS?

When entering travel expenses in the Defense Travel System (DTS), the required information includes the date of the expense, the type of expense incurred, the amount spent, and any associated documentation that supports the transaction. This thorough documentation is essential as it ensures transparency and accountability for the funds spent during travel. By providing the date, the system can associate costs with specific travel events, while specifying the type of expense categorizes the different charges (such as lodging, meals, or transportation). The amount details how much was spent, and the associated documentation, like receipts, verifies the authenticity and necessity of the expenses claimed. This rigorous record-keeping process helps maintain accuracy in travel reimbursements and compliance with federal travel regulations.
