Accounts Payable Launching New Travel and Expense Reporting System 'Chrome River'

Accounts Payable’s new travel and expense reporting system “Chrome River” will be implemented campus‐wide in the upcoming months. In “Chrome River,” University employees will electronically report business expenses for reimbursement and reconcile purchases made with University Purchasing Cards.

 

University employees will be contacted by Accounts Payable via chromeriver@semo.edu to view the online trainings and convert to this new reporting system.

When employees are invited for training, the following will occur:

1. Paper expense reports and payment vouchers for reimbursement will no longer be accepted by Accounts Payable
2. Travel cash advances will no longer be given for individual employee or student travel and prepaid travel expenses
3. University employees will be able to apply for a University Purchasing Card with supervisor approval

 

If you have any questions, contact the Chrome River team at chromeriver@semo.edu. Accounts Payable asks for patience while this new system is implemented and procedure revisions are made for all University employees.
