In the standard form for travel expenses the following special features should be considered for the French Public Sector:

In the case of international trips stopovers are defined by the arrival at or departure from the destination location. An international trip, therefore, consists of a sequence of separate trip segments and can contain time gaps.

In the case of trips to courses only the stays at the course location and possible private destinations are recorded. These stays are independent trips that are grouped into one trip because of the accommodations per diem reduction. Consequently, the collective trip to course, similar to the international trip, contains time gaps.

When the trip itinerary is represented in the standard form, only these trip segments are shown and numbered sequentially.

The IJ is specified in the Meals form block. Per line, the individual amount (base IJ), the number of IJs, and the reimbursement amount are displayed. The reimbursement amount is the product of individual amount and the number of IJs. Deductions from the IJ are displayed per day. The deduction amounts are calculated as a percentage of the IJ (50% or 100%). The percentage and the deduction amount (percent value) are indicated and represented in the reimbursement amount column as negative values. The total reimbursement amount is, consequently, the sum of the reimbursement amounts per line minus the deductions.

Per line, the individual amount of an IR, the number of IRs, and the reimbursement amount are displayed. The reimbursement amount is the product of the individual amount and the number of IRs.

The deductions are represented similar to the deductions for international trips.

Per line, the accommodations per diem, the number of nights, and the reimbursement amount are shown. The deductions are specified per night and indicated in the 'Number of nights' column with an R (= reduced). The amount to be reimbursed after deductions is shown.
