Travel Request
Power Apps template · Version 1.1 · Standard edition
Travelers enter the trip, the business justification and their estimated costs, and the app routes the request by department, total cost and trip type. International trips can't be submitted until the foreign travel briefing is done.
Features
Estimated costs
Airfare or rail, lodging, per diem, ground or mileage, registration and other, with the total added up as you type.
Approval by cost and trip type
Set approvers per department with dollar thresholds, plus extra levels for out-of-state or international travel.
International briefing check
International trips need the foreign travel briefing marked complete before they can be submitted.
Travel advances
Travelers can request an advance and its amount on the same form.
Return for changes
Approvers can send a trip back with a comment. The traveler edits and resubmits from level 1.

Questions
- Do we need premium licenses?
- No. The app uses only the SharePoint and Office 365 Outlook connectors, which most Microsoft 365 plans include.
- Does it work in GCC High?
- Yes. The setup script has a GCC High option, and the Install Guide covers the GCC High app link.
- Can we use our own trip types and departments?
- Yes. They are choice columns in SharePoint. Keep "International" if you want the briefing check.
- Can we change the colors and wording?
- Yes. Colors, admins and the support address are set in one place, and every screen is yours to edit in Power Apps Studio.
