Creating a business trip
There are two ways to create a business trip:

– The method based on the selection of services: select services — create a business trip — authorization.
Classic way to create a business trip
To create a business trip, use the "New trip" widget in the central part of the desktop or go to the "Business trips" - "New trip" section in the navigation menu on the left side of the page. The Wizard for creating business trips opens.
Step 1. Dates, route and choice of traveler

At this stage, you must specify the direction of the business trip, the period of the business trip, and also select the traveler (if necessary and with the appropriate rights) and enter the basic data:

  • Departure city
  • Paying company for the traveler
  • Payment type
Selecting a business trip destination

To specify the city of departure and arrival, just enter the first three letters of its name, for example, "Mos", or the IATA code of the city/ airport (for more information, see the Desktop section - "New business trip").

Selecting a business trip period

Specify the dates by clicking on the corresponding field in the calendar. The selected period will be highlighted in color (for more details, see the section Desktop — "New business trip").

If new business trip duplicates or overlap in dates previous ones, a modal window with a list of such business trips will open.

If necessary and you have an authorization, you can replace the user with another one. To do this, click on the last name in the appropriate field. Then, in the window that opens, find the desired user by typing his last name in the search field.
