Policy Violations report

The Policy Violations report provides detailed metrics on bookings that do not adhere to company policy. The report can be used to derive insights about out-of-policy (OOP) spend organized by department, traveler, and policy violation reason. The sub-filters can be used to refine your view to specific departments and travelers.
