Submit travel request for approval

Once your requisition has been completely coded, you may opt to have a recommender review the items before it is submitted for approval, or submit the requisition straight away.

To request a recommender review:

1. Select the Recommender Request Spend Wizard from the Travel Request Details window and complete the necessary details, including any coding required.
2. Click the Approval tab. The approvers who are authorized to approve the transaction are listed. If you want to select another approver, click Set Alternative Approver.
3. Click Add New and perform an employee search for your approver.
4. Click to add the approver to your list.
5. Click Save.

To submit a requisition for approval:

1. Either:
   • In the requisition summary list, click the red Submit text next to the requisition you want to submit, or
   • In the requisition details list, click the submit icon to the right of the requisition. A pop-up window will appear confirming the submission for approval. The icon will change to . If you want to unsubmit the requisition before the approver has actioned it, click .

     Notes: The Submit text will change to On Hold if the itinerary is being updated. You will not be able to submit your requisition for approval until the change is complete.
     
     In some cases your requisition may have been covered by a blanket travel authority (BTA) or offline booking approval, so it will be automatically approved. If your requisition falls beyond the BTA coverage you can either submit it for normal approval or you can amend the details so that it falls within the coverage of the BTA.
     
     You will not be able to submit your requisition for approval if the sum value of the trip is zero.
