What is a travel related DTS Debt? 

A travel-related debt results when one of the following occurs:

2) The total previous payments) I.e., travel advances, scheduled partial payments [SSPs], and previous vouchers or local vouchers) exceed the actual reimbursable expenses.

3) Post payment review (PPA Auditors) determines that the paid voucher contains an unauthorized expense that the Government must recover.
