The system approves the travel request and settles it. The next time that settlement results are transferred to Accounting, the advance is posted in Financial Accounting.
After the trip, you supplement the missing trip facts for the travel request and save the trip with the trip status
Trip completed.
The system approves the trip and settles it. The next time that settlement results are transferred to Accounting, the trip expenses are posted in Financial Accounting.
