If you need to change per diem rate information or add new detail records to an existing per diem table, follow these steps.
Note: For a per diem table code, you can change any field except for the code itself. For an existing per diem detail record, you cannot change the published date or season start date, but you can change the season end date or any of the rates.
To change per diem rates
From the JAMIS Administration home page > Setup tab, under Expense Setup, click Per diem tables. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Expense Setup > Per Diem Tables. The Per Diem Tables screen appears.
In the Filters section, enter one or more search criteria for the per diem table code that you want to change. Your filter choices are: location code, city, county, state, country.
Hints: You can enter partial information in a filter field, such as A to retrieve all per diem table codes that begin with A, or %A to retrieve all per diem table codes that contain the letter A. You can leave all filter fields blank to retrieve all per diem table codes.
Click Retrieve to list per diem table codes that match the criteria you entered. The results appear in the bottom section of the screen.
If needed, scroll to find the per diem table code that you want to change. JAMIS displays the records in ascending order by location code. You can sort the list differently by clicking the appropriate column heading once or twice.
Click Edit to the left of the per diem table code that you want to change. JAMIS makes the fields that you can change editable in the top section, and it lists the per diem table code’s detail records in the bottom section.
Change data for the per diem table code as needed.
When you are finished changing data for the per diem table code, click Save to commit your changes.
To add a new per diem detail record with different dates, click Add Detail, then follow steps 7 through 12 of the process for creating a per diem table.
