As I am filling an expense report for a recent US trip, I encountered an issue. I exceed the company allowance on the day I traveled east.
It is not because I spend too much or eat extravagantly, but due to the simple fact that I traveled across the international date line. I had a meal in the airport before the flight, then I had two more meals after I arrived.
In Japan time zone, these are expenses on a different day, but as I left Sunday 17:00 and arrived Sunday 9:00AM the automatic expense report consider it the same day.
Now I have to decide if I have the power to explain it to our accountant or just delete some expenses
