3. Find “Y-Expense” down towards the bottom. Click on it.

4. After the page opens, click on “Start Travel Authorization.”

5. Fill in the conference information from there, and they will give you the TA number after it’s been submitted.

6. If you ever want to access it again to see what you put in, you’ll follow steps 1-3 above, and instead of clicking, “Start Travel Authorization,” you’ll see “Open Transactions” in the top left-hand corner. There you will see “Travel Authorizations” with the number in parentheses with how many TA’s you currently have out. Click on it, and it will show you your current TA’s.
