Reduction to Expense

An Reduction to Expense (RTE) is payment received as reimbursement for an expense that has already been paid by TAMU.  For example, the department head is traveling to a conference to serve as a guest speaker. When he/she returns, the conference sponsor sends a check for the airfare.  This is a reimbursement check.  Other examples might include reimbursement from a sponsor for event expenses, a refund of a deposit for room rental, or a check for duplicate payment of an invoice.

If the check is mailed to the department - the Departmental Liaison follows the steps shown in Texas A&M Deposits to log the check and deliver it to ATS.

AABS - ATS will process the RTE.

Department receives notification the process is completed.
