7. Best Practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names to avoid ambiguity.
  • Group related services (e.g., “Event Fees”) into separate entries for date clarity.
  • Always include cost estimates, even if approximate.
  • Use the Notes field for references (booking numbers, providers, etc.).
  • Align entries with company travel policy (allowed, reimbursable, billable).

8. Summary

The Others tab ensures that all non-standard travel services are captured, providing:

  • A complete picture of the trip
  • Accurate budget planning
  • Full transparency for approvers
  • Flexibility for unique travel scenarios

It complements the other travel tabs and guarantees no part of the trip is overlooked.
