Long term travel often results in a very large number of expense items and receipts; is there a simpler way to enter these into EMS?
Preparers consult their business office to determine if the department has a standard way to prepare very large reports. In general, if a report includes a very large number of required receipts the department may elect to retain these within the department for the record retention period rather than fax them in. Also, preparers may choose to summarize expenses by expenditure type then create one EMS expense item per expense type so long as the sheet used to summarize the items is faxed into the report and required documentation is provide to EMS or retained on file in the department.
