Request

The Request module is used to plan, organize and request approvals for UA business travel. A Request provides a general estimate or plan for the trip including anticipated costs to UA.

A Request is required for all business travel including trips partially or wholly paid by a third party (even when self-funded). Travelers should have one Request per full time in travel status. A business justification in the Header is required if the Request is submitted after trip commencement.
