Engineering Equipment Data Base
by Farmus, Cristina D 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Good afternoon, Many of you are asking me to find out if a certain piece of equipment is available at Purdue so you can use it for a limited time without having to purchase it. After several requests, I worked with Property Accounting and I obtained a list of current equipment available in all Engineering Schools, which includes responsible PI. It is saved on the ChE intranet at https://engineering.purdue.edu/Intranet/Groups/Schools/ChE/EngineeringEquip…. Anyone with a career account can access it. Property Accounting is sending me updated reports every month and they are fine with sharing this information with Purdue employees. Once you have found what you needed, it is fine to contact the PI via email, asking for permission to use the equipment. If you cannot find what you are need on this list, please let me know and I can ask for the entire Purdue equipment data base to be searched. Changes to this data base can be made by submitting to Property Accounting (through our Business Office) an ECS form, saved at the same location.

Meals Provided-Deductions
by Olinger, Jennifer L 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hello Again- There has been some confusion as to how to now deduct meals from your per diem as there is no formula to calculate it for you in the spreadsheet. Hopefully this will help. The meals provided must still be entered, but will no longer automatically calculate in the last row/day of the trip. Therefore deductions for meals provided must be entered manually. Since the meal deductions are no longer based upon a percentage but a flat rate based upon the meal provided and subsistence rate, there is no longer a formula which can accommodate the calculation. Please see chart with link below: Meals and Incidental Expenses ( M&IE) Breakdown The following table is provided for federal employees who need to deduct provided meals from their daily meals and incidental expense (M&IE) allowance. Refer to Section 301-11.18 of the Federal Travel Regulation<http://www.gsa.gov/portal/ext/public/site/FTR/file/Chapter301p011.html/cate…> for specific guidance on deducting these amounts from your per diem reimbursement claims for meals furnished to you by the government. Other organizations may have different rules that apply for their employees; please check with your organization for more assistance. The table lists the six M&IE tiers in the lower 48 continental United States (currently ranging from $46 to $71). If you need to deduct a meal amount, first determine the location where you will be working while on official travel. You can look up the location-specific information at www.gsa.gov/perdiem<http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem>. The M&IE rate for your location will be one of the six tiers listed on this table. Find the corresponding amount on the first line of the table (M&IE Total) and then look below for each specific meal deduction amount. The table also lists the portion of the M&IE rate that is provided for incidental expenses (currently $5 for all tiers), as well as the amount federal employees receive for the first and last calendar day or travel. The first and last calendar day of travel is calculated at 75 percent. M&IE Total $46 $51 $56 $61 $66 $71 Continental Breakfast/ Breakfast $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 Lunch $11 $12 $13 $15 $16 $18 Dinner $23 $26 $29 $31 $34 $36 Incidentals $5 $5 $5 $5 $5 $5 First & Last Day of Travel $34.50 $38.25 $42 $45.75 $49.50 $53.25 http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101518 With Kind Regards- Jenny Olinger Account Clerk IV Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Forney Hall Room #G041 West Lafayette, IN 47907 765-496-1094 (Direct Line) 765-494-4073 (Fax) jolinger(a)purdue.edu [cid:image001.jpg@01CD7938.D7556600]
