Business travel Budget Approval Advances

Anticipate business travel costs instead of discovering them

An expense approved before it is incurred costs less than an expense debated afterwards. That is true for the budget, and true for the relationship with the employee.

Before departure

The travel request first, then the expense

A request made upfront

The employee announces the trip, the approver gives their agreement. The budget is known before the expense is incurred, not at reimbursement time.

  • Configurable approval workflow
  • Purpose and estimated budget entered
  • The travel officer checks costs before approval

Expense advances

An advance granted is tracked in the same place as expense reports, and is settled automatically on reimbursement.

  • Advances tracked by employee
  • Tracked through to reimbursement
  • History kept

The link with the expense report

Expenses incurred during the trip are attached to the request, so you can compare the estimate with actual spending.

Frequently asked questions

More about business travel management

Why approve business travel upfront?
Because a refusal after the expense is always badly timed, for the employee as well as for the manager. Upfront approval moves the discussion to where it is still useful.
Are mileage rates applied automatically?
Yes, as with expense reports. You configure your rates and caps, and they apply when expenses are entered.
