My local SWT station out in Surrey beyond the Travelcard area was
happy to sell me a single to Waterloo plus Underground Z1 for today and
another single + Z1 dated 3 days later for my return trip. They said
they had had some reports of problems with the automatic barriers for
the future dated U1 tickets but in fact I had no problems to/from KX.

When I worked for BP (before 1999) the expenses rules said that no
receipt was expected for journeys of less than 50 miles by public
transport.

I would expect to buy a Saver Return to Z1 for that sort of trip from
Cambridge.

I do that to Zones 1 & 2 on occasion when I stay in Putney. With a
Network Card it's £19.15 this year compared to a Saver Return to King's
Cross which is £16.55. That still beats the tube singles, even with
Oyster.
