Travel Requisition Approval App Development - Sample Scenario
We have chosen a real-world scenario of a Travel Requisition Approval in an organization as a sample example scenario to illustrate how an app 'Travel Requisition Approval' is designed and developed in iLeap Platform throughout this help portal.

By following this sample scenario, we hope you should be able to explore as well as understand better, the features and capabilities of developing a functional enterprise app easily and quickly in iLeap.

Travel Requisition Approval - Process Flow Sequence

Scenario:

The sequence of steps/process flow of the sample 'Travel Requisition Approval' process would be as follows:

  • An employee of a company internally submits a travel request application with relevant details to the immediate reporting manager for approval.
  • Upon receiving the travel request, the reporting manager can either approve or seek clarification from the employee on the request based on certain internal guidelines of the company.
  • If the reporting manager approves the travel request and if the travel request is less than or equal to five days, then the approved travel request is directly routed to travel desk confirming the approval & for further processing.

  • On the other hand, If the travel request is greater than five days, then the request is routed to Functional Head (FH) for further review and approval. If the FH also approves the request, it is sent again to travel desk executive for further processing.
  • On receiving the approved travel request, the travel desk executive initiates the Flight & Hotel bookings (If requested by employee) by keying in the Flight and Hotel booking details.

  • The travel desk executive submits the travel request with Flight & Hotel booking details to the travel desk manager for further review and approval.
  • The travel desk manager can either approve or seek clarification on the submitted request from the travel desk executive, if need be.

  • Post review & verification, the travel desk manager approves the travel request which has complete travel details to the employee.
  • On receiving the approved travel request information, the employee acknowledges it. Employee can also seek clarification from the Travel Desk Manager before acknowledging, if required.
  • A copy of the employee acknowledgment (email) is routed to the employee's reporting manager for reference purposes and the process ends there.

Note:

In our sample example scenario of 'Travel Requisition Approval', only 'Flights' mode of travel is considered for illustrative purposes. Other modes of travel such as by Train or Cab have been ignored.

At a higher level, following are the sequence of steps we would be walking you through while developing the Travel Requisition Approval Process App.

Please note that we will be following the iLeap App Development Life Cycle all the way for best results.

  • To start off with, we will create an App by name 'Travel Requisition Approval'.
  • Then, we will identify and define the master and transaction models required. For details on the defined master and transaction models, see Data Model.
  • Next, we will design the requisite input forms based on the defined data models. For details on the master model form and transaction model form defined, see Forms.
  • After designing the forms, we will proceed to design the process model diagram of the Travel Requisition Approval & Publish it. For details, see Process.
  • Then, we proceed towards Mapping the Process with the App we have created. For details, see App Configuration Settings.
  • Once the App is created , we will trigger the App & key in the requisite information. For details, see Accessing the App.
  • Finally, we move towards designing the reports that present a compelling display of App data. For details, see Reports.
