Travel requests are forms that need to be signed off in order for an employee to travel on company expenses. In case if one employee was having limited access to apply for a travel request while they are traveling, as an Admin/Supervisor user, it is possible to assign 'Travel Requests' on behalf of employees by simply accessing the Expense module by following the steps below

Step 5 – Click the Add button in the Travel Request Estimates Section. Then the Add Travel Request Estimates Screen is shown.
Step 6 – Select the Expense Type. The form gets expanded once selected.
