Job Description
Maintaining a Travel Log
The Business Trip Directory contains a list of business trip records. Entries in the directory are created separately for each employee going on a business trip. Entries in the directory can be created directly by the employees going on the trip or by designated company staff (secretary, administrative assistant).
The Business Trips directory card contains the details required for recording business trips in the registry and preparing business trip documents:
- Employee on business trip (full name, position, department);
- Purpose of the business trip;
- Scheduled and actual dates of departure and return;
- Scheduled and actual duration;
- Destinations;
- Order number and date.
The Planned Expenses tab contains information about the estimated expenses associated with the business trip, namely:
- Daily allowances for the duration of the business trip;
- Travel expenses;
- Accommodation expenses
Creating an Order (Directive) for a Business Trip
After filling out all the required fields in the Business Trips reference card, you must create a Business Trip Order. When you click the button, the system generates a document based on a template, which is sent via the standard “For Approval” workflow.
Creating Memos
The system allows you to create the following types of memos:
- Request for a business trip;
- Request for a vehicle for a business trip;
- Request for gasoline for a business trip by car.
Memos are created by clicking a button on the business trip card. Documents are generated using a template and sent for approval via the standard “For Approval” workflow.
Creating Memos
Planned daily expenses are calculated based on data from the reference guide Travel Expense Rates. You can set expense rates for:
- a specific city in the selected country;
- all other cities in the selected country (except those for which separate records have been created);

- all other countries (except those for which separate records have been created).

Additional Features
When arranging a business trip, company employees can review the guidelines for domestic and international business trips, which contain the necessary information on the procedures for preparing travel documents and claiming reimbursement. Having these documents available minimizes the need for employees to contact the accounting department or the secretary for clarification.
