 Approve Trip

Process flow

The approve trip workflow describes the following process:

After completing a trip, the employee supplements the trip data in the system.

The expenses department checks the trip data to see if it is plausible and if it complies with the statutory or enterprise-specific trip provisions. Its consistency with original (or facsimile) receipts is also verified. The trip can be forwarded to the superior, or sent back to the employee for correction.

If corrections are necessary, an employee in the expenses department creates a message as a workflow attachment. The employee who entered the trip data receives a work item with this attachment. To change the trip, the employee can execute the appropriate transaction directly from the integrated inbox. When the trip is saved, the workflow is started again.

If the trip data is consistent, it is then checked by the superior. The superior can approve the trip, send it back to the employee for correction, or reject it.

If corrections are necessary, the superior creates a message as a workflow attachment. The employee receives a work item with this attachment, and can access the transaction to change the trip directly.

If the trip is rejected, the superior creates a message that is sent to the employee as a mail.
