​Expenses that are part of the official travel or event, but not paid by the traveler/user can be entered on the Paid by Other screen. The amounts entered here will not be calculated as part of the Due to or Due from amounts.

This could be entered on the comments or added as a scanned attachment.

When a Fiscal Coder or Approver views a voucher, these costs will be entered as a zero amount memo line item (MEM). A memo (MEM) line item will not be uploaded to STARS. If none of the expenses entered are paid by the traveler, the voucher created from the request will have a zero amount balance.
