Crossing the T's & dotting the I's is key when reconciling data, especially financial data like travel.
To ensure trip requests fall in-line with your company's finance and travel policies, the Locomote Corporate Travel Platform gives you the ability to add in data entry validations via the Billable or Non-Billable module, so when a Traveller or Travel Arranger completes a trip request, they will be required to enter data to confirm how the trip will be billed.
eg. Trip requests need to be billed via a purchase order, so they need to provide a PO number in a specific format.
