Linking a Travel Authorization to an Expense Report

   Overview   

In an effort to help match up travel expense predictions with those on the expense report, it is advised that you associate a travel authorization to the report. The system will allow you to associate multiple travel authorization to an expense report as long as those TA's are not older than 6 months.

Linking documents allows approvers to expedite approval by easily allowing them to view expenses and their predictions/justifications.
