Who needs to approve a travel expense voucher?
A person who is authorized on the cost object where the cost will be charted can approve travel expense vouchers. This person needs to be set up in the Roles Database under “Concur Travel Approver.” This individual is considered the primary approver for that cost object. As the primary approver, this individual will receive the electronic report in his/her Concur inbox. Approval delegates are able to proxy as the primary approver to access these reports as well. Delegate approvers are assigned as “Eligible as Concur Backup” in Roles and are assigned as approval delegates by the Travel Office. Please refer to the Roles website to see if the person approving the travel expense voucher is listed in the roles database system. To request an approval delegate, please contact travelsupport@mit.edu.
