FieldDescription
Next Available Travel Request Number

Type the next available travel request number. Or, click the Next Available Travel Request Number link to automatically populate the field with the last travel request number plus one.

The field can be a maximum of six characters and can be alphanumeric. If only numeric values are used, the field is zero-filled to equal six digits when a partial travel request number is entered and you tab out of the field (e.g., you entered 123, the field is zero-filled to 000123). If alphanumeric values are used, the field is not zero-filled to equal six characters (e.g., you entered ABC2, the travel request number remains ABC2).

Location LockingSelect to lock (disable) the Mileage (Start, Stop, and Map) fields, Point of Origin, and Destination fields on travel requests and require employees to use the Location link to select an origin and destination location from the predefined list of travel locations and distances set up on the Finance > Tables > Travel > Locations and Finance > Tables > Travel > Distances tab.

The Location Locking feature is not available for extended mileage travel requests.
Require Start/End TimesSelect to require the travel start and end times on travel requests. This option is only available for mileage travel requests. The start/end times are always required for extended travel as the times are necessary to determine meal rates and eligibility.
