What’s the difference between a Travel Arranger and an Expense Delegate?

Travel Arranger — This individual can make travel reservations for another employee or a guest traveler.

Request/Expense Delegate — This individual can create preapproval Requests and Expense Reports on behalf of another employee.

IMPORTANT:

Delegates can create preapproval Requests and Expense reports for travelers, but they cannot “Submit” the report for the traveler. When the delegate has completed a report, they must click “Ready for Review.”

Travel expense report page showing the Ready For Review button.

The traveler will receive a notice that their preapproval Request or Expense report is ready for review. Once the traveler has reviewed the report, they must “Submit” the report themselves due to the certification that they must accept.
