Submitting an expense - partial claim

[Rich1028]

I'm on an extended trip (30 days) OCONUS and the hotel I'm staying at billed my entire stay to my corporate AMEX (around $5500).  Since I cannot expense future dates, is there a way to submit for lodging expenses incurred to date?

Due to the length of my trip and the credit card billing cycle, I may have to pay my AMEX bill out of pocket, to keep it from going into a past due status. So, getting reimbursed by my company for a large portion of my lodging expenses, which I have incurred to date, will make the amount I have to pay AMEX, much smaller.

When I try, I get an error "The itemization amounts do not add up to the expense amount." or " Reminder: Expenses cannot be submitted with a future date"

Example: Can I submit my current lodging expenses at day 21 (totaling approx. $3850) for direct payment by my company to AMEX, then reconcile the remaining lodging expenses for 9 days ( approx. $1650) when my trip has concluded. This way, if I have to pay AMEX out of pocket and be reimbursed by my company, I'd rather pay $1650 vs. $5500

@Rich1028 I take it you received in your Available Expenses the AMEX charge for $5500, is that correct?

Hi Kevin, 

I have the same question as above, but I don't see the complete solution. 

Thanks!

What do I do when I don't see the Submit button in an expense?

Sorry I am having a terrible time figuring how to put mileage in for travel time. Can that please be explained to me.
