If you have a separate business meeting while on travel status, you can add it to the Travel Expense Report as Entertainment Meals-Travel Status (536400) and add all required Entertainment Policy information such as a detailed business purpose for the off-campus meeting (e.g. with a potential donor/non-UCSD collaborator) and attendees. Other events should be submitted separately on an Event Expense Report.
