TRAVELTracks will route the travel request to the appropriate approvers based on the Travel Approval Matrix.
For reimbursements, TRAVELTracks will route the expense report if there is a signficant difference to the original approvals or if the approvals were not obtained with the travel request.
AP Approval, aka Travel Office, will be the final approval for each document.
Note: If the traveler is the approver, the traveler's organizational supervisor will approve the travel request.
Go to the Worklist in SAP Portal in the same format as approving timesheets. Below are the reference documents to approving a travel document.

Every account manager of each cost assignment will be asked to approve use of their funds. Since there can be up to 6 different cost assignments, there can be up to 6 account manager approvals.
Account managers will approve expense reports only when the expense report has a significant change from what was approved on the travel request.
