Changes to food purchase categories in ExpenseUVA

“Catering” is a frequently-chosen category within ExpenseUVA for food purchases, but most UVA food purchases are actually within the category of “business meals.” The distinction is even more important now, as “catering” will no longer be a reimbursable category after January 1, 2018. The Travel & Expense team encourages ExpenseUVA users to review the food purchase categories available within the system.
