Additional Notes on Paying On Behalf of Others

• On the AggieExpense report header you'll see the question, Exception requested: spouse/partner or other traveler(s) expenses included on report and you'll have the option to choose "Yes" or "No" from a drop down menu. If reimbursable expenses for another employee, guest, or a spouse/partner are included on the report, choose yes and in the comments provide an explanation of why the expense is on your report. The report will automatically route for Exception approval.
• For purchases on behalf of others that are not included in the table above, please obtain pre-approval from Travel Accounting. Send a request to cardprogramhelp@ucdavis.edu, and include details of the transaction and circumstances.
