29. In Review – A Few Key Things to Remember The date, as well as the ‘To’ and ‘From’ sections, must be filled out for each day of travel. All state employees should list their Beacon number, never their SSN. When traveling to many locations on the same day, list a grand total of miles in the appropriate field. Please list only the city and state (if outside of NC) in the To and From boxes. If your employee travels daily, please have them submit a detailed spreadsheet/Word document of their daily travel and total mileage for the day. When traveling from home, you may only take the lesser mileage from either your home or work station. All reimbursements should be typed, not handwritten. Please ensure that everyone in your department is using the current travel form. BDA’s for excess in-state and out of state travel MUST be submitted and completed with all signatures to Fiscal prior to traveling.
