Itinerary for a business trip from Sofia to London with flight details.

When a trip uses per diem mode, the trip request shows a per diem line next to the flight and hotel amounts, in place of an allowance. The per diem itself is not flagged as in or out of policy. Approving the trip creates a draft per diem expense for the traveler. If the traveler later submits a per diem above the approved amount, a separate per diem discrepancy approval comes to you before payout.
