Chrome River System Upgrade – Pre approval Status Changes

Greetings VCU Travelers,

A recent Emburse Chrome River Update has impacted the status of pre approvals in the system. During the update, the status for numerous open pre-approvals submitted prior to 7/8/2024 were changed to “Used/Expired”. We are working with Chrome River to navigate how to resolve this issue as well as measure the overall impact.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and encourage all users to log into Chrome River to check the status of their pre approvals.

If your pre approval was affected by this update, here are steps to complete your expense report. If you have any questions, our travel team is available to assist you at Travel@vcu.edu.
