M&IE Breakdown

Use the M&IE Breakdown screen to enter the individual meal and incidental expense amounts for CONUS, OCONUS, or user source. You can add records based on the total meal and incidental amounts. If a record already exists for the source with the total amount, the system will display the following error message:  "The Source and total meals & incidental amount already exists."

When do I use the M&IE Breakdown screen?

Use the M&IE Breakdown screen to enter new meal and incidental expense amount records. You cannot edit an existing record. Once you save the record, the total meals and incidental amount will display below the application functions.

You cannot delete a M&IE Breakdown record if the total amount is being used in either the Per Diem Master or the Per Diem Schedule.
