Invitational Travel Process for Offices and Regions The NRC invites numerous people to "work" for the NRC for a short duration. This "work" may be as a speaker at a conference, as an individual needed to support a site visit, etc. Potential employment candidates may be brought into headquarters or regional offices for job interviews. The NRC is obligated to pay these invitees' travel costs.
Below is step by step guidance to ensure invitees are set up in the Office of the Chief Financial Office (OCFO) systems to process their travel electronically:
Step 1 - Office/Region bringing in invitee prepares the "OCFO Invitational Traveler Request Form" (see page 1) and e-mails it to the Central Allowance Team (CAT) at NRC_VendorRequest@nrc.gov.
- 1. Complete NRC Form 149, OCFO Invitational Traveler Request Form. (Page 1)
- 2. Return to: Send by e-mail to NRC_VendorRequest@nrc.gov.
- 3. Allow up to 2 business days to process after completed forms have been received by the Central Allowance Team (CAT) who will set up a new Vendor ID in FAIMIS and The Financial Systems Branch (FSB) to create the profile in the eTravel System.
- 4. FSB will send you an e-mail once all actions have been completed.
Step 2 - CAT sets up the Vendor Code in the agency's accounting system, the Financial Accounting and Integrated Management Information System (FAIMIS), for the new invitee. Once the Vendor Code is in FAIMIS, the Financial Systems Branch (FSB) creates a new user account in the eTravel System (ETS2).
Step 3 - FSB will notify the office contact/Arranger via email or phone that the invitational traveler has been set up in ETS2.
Step 4 - The Arranger should then inform the invitee to call El Sol Travel (844-244-6694 or 480-693-0212) to make their travel reservations. El Sol Travel will push the reservations to ETS2 where the Arranger will complete the authorization and sign it on behalf of the traveler to initiate routing. The authorization will then route through the system in the same way as employee travel does: the authorization will be approved by the Supervisor/
Approver and it will then route to the Funds Certifier for their review and approval to be sent to FAIMIS for funds obligation. If this is for foreign travel, the authorization will route to the Foreign Travel Approver as well.
Step 5 - After the trip, the Arranger creates a voucher in ETS2 from the authorization, adjusts expenses as needed, and attaches applicable receipts. The Arranger must then print the travel voucher in ETS2 and have the invitee sign it, certifying that the expenses are correct and due to the invitee. This signed voucher must then be attached to the document in ETS2. The Arranger CANNOT stamp/sign the voucher in ETS2. Instead, s/he notifies the CAT via email NRC_VendorRequest@nrc.gov) that the document needs to be reviewed and signed on behalf of the invitational traveler.
Example E-mail:
Central Allowance Team, Voucher T##### for invitational traveler, Invitee's Name, has been prepared. Please review it and sign it on behalf of the invitational traveler. The voucher should be routed next to John Doe.
Step 6 - CAT reviews the voucher and signs it on behalf of the invitational traveler by stamping it with the "INVITATIONAL" stamp that moves it forward to the Approver who signed the original travel authorization. This initiates the voucher routing process for payment.
