Current Trips Approved April 1-July 31, 2020
Over 3100 domestic and international trips for this time period are currently routing for approval or already approved in ProTrav. Since expenses are already reconciled to some of these trips, the trips will not be voided. Due to the Governor’s directive, travel is no longer permitted, and these trips will be marked with the following description: Trip Cancelled per Iowa Governor directive. ProTrav will send a notice automatically to the traveler and approvers noting that this change has been made to the trip.
If a trip was previously approved and falls into the categories about, you will need to resubmit your request following the instructions above for exceptions.
