Approvers

Approvers are users within the platform who have been assigned the task of reviewing and then approving or declining the travel bookings or approval requests for travelers within your company. The company administrator configures the policies, approval process and approvers (designated approver or traveler's manager). Approvers can also specify a secondary approver in case they are unavailable. 

Only policies which are set to hard approval or pre approval will require bookings to be approved before the approval deadline (after which they will be canceled unless they have been approved). 
In the case of pre approvals, if the request is denied (or expires before being approved), the traveler will be unable to finalize the booking. If the pre approval request is approved, the traveler will be able to finalize the booking so long as the final price for the booking does not exceed the price approved by 10% or more. 

Since the actual individual who is responsible for approving a given traveler's bookings or approval request can depend on a number of settings configured by the company administrator or approver, we suggest that travelers contact their company administrator or manager to determine who the relevant approver is.
