The US GSA establishes the per diem rates for the continental United States (CONUS), which includes the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Federal agencies use the per diem rates to reimburse their employees for subsistence expenses incurred while on official travel.
The per diem rates consist of two components, the lodging rates and the meals & incidentals. As the name suggests, the lodging rates are the allowed daily rates for hotel room expenses. The incidental expenses are: Fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, hotel staff, and staff on ships.
These per diem rates are used during the expense entry process in SAP Business ByDesign for official travel expense reimbursement. The rates conform to the standards set by the federal agency and hence is a compliance requirement for the government and commercial organizations.
