Travel requisitions

Applies To: Project Operations for resource/non-stocked based scenarios

A travel requisition lists the expenses incurred for the purpose of travel. A travel requisition is submitted for review and can be used to authorize expenses.

You may be required to submit a travel requisition before you incur any expense that is charged to the organization. This requirement applies, regardless of whether you charge expenses to a corporate credit card, spend cash that you received from a cash advance, or incur out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by the organization.

Travel requisitions and policies can be used to help manage organization expenditures. For example, if your organization is working on a fixed-price project that requires travel, the travel expenses of the project's team members must fit within the project budget. By requiring that travel expenses be approved before incurred, the organization can help make sure that the project remains within budget.

Configuration

Travel Requisitions can be configured as "mandatory" by enabling the "Pre-authorization of travel is mandatory" parameter in Expense Management Parameters.
