Approving Trips

Approve Trip

Every approver receives a notification when a trip is submitted to them. Approvers can scrutinize the submitted trips and approve them.

To approve a trip:

1. Go to Approvals on the left sidebar. All the trips, reports, advances, and purchase requests that are waiting for your approval will be listed in the Pending Approval tab.
   
2. If you want to view only the list of trips that are submitted to you for approval, navigate to the Trips tab.
3. Click the trip you would like to consider for approval.
4. Verify the details of the trip, and add comments, if necessary. The submitter will be notified about your comments and it will be shown in the trip under the Comments & History section.
5. If you’ve reviewed the trip, click Approve at the top right side of the page. The transaction will be approved and a notification will be sent to the submitter.
   

If a transaction has policy violations, you can choose to approve the trip or add comments, reject the trip and ask the submitter to re-submit it after resolving the violations.

Reject Trip

The approver can choose to reject a trip if the budget amount or the trip itinerary does not comply with the organisation’s policy. Once the approver rejects a trip, the submitter of the trip will receive a notification. The submitter can then resolve the violation or the comment on their trip and re-submit the trip for approval.
