Why We like This Finance Travel Request in SharePoint Online Example
SharePoint Online is a web based tool meaning people can submit requests from anywhere that has an internet connection. Many financial people are on the go and need to be able to submit requests as easily as an email. Using SharePoint to store travel requests means fields can be easily tailored to match your exact business needs. It also has a great baseball card style for displaying itineraries at a quick glance. Multiple views can be setup to personalize travel requests for past and upcoming travel events.
Additionally, Power Automate can be used to send requests for approval and coordination. Normally a manager approves travel, then an assistant will coordinate the details of that request and their costs. Lastly those costs are reviewed and approved by the finance team to ensure the costs are within the current planned budget. This is all seamlessly handled by Power Automate to accurately track finance travel requests in SharePoint Online.
