The system offers you an option to define the travel policies in order to restrict the booking possibilities of travellers.
Select "administration" -> "travel guidelines" and click "add" to create travel policies. For the company, a travel policy can be defined for all employees or different policies can be defined at the department or employee level.
Please note that a travel policy is only active if it has been assigned accordingly to branches, departments or employees.
If you want to create a travel policy for a department, please proceed as follows:
- Add a new travel policy.
- Name the travel policy.
- Set the restrictions for hotel and/or flight, rental car and train.
- Save the travel policy.
- Select the desired department (administration -> department).
- Assign the above-named travel policy to the desired department (administration ->department -> change department).
Create a travel policy with the setting "travel request required":
First, you can give the travel policy a name, such as: "travel policy_apprentice". Then activate e.g. the item "general" - the area changes color from gray to white. Now you can optionally give a travel budget that applies per month, quarter or year. It is now defined whether the apprentice can not book a journey directly and a travel request is necessary in advance.
