Role changes are colliding with the approval record that regulated bookings must retain.
Travelers need bookings to continue while travel managers need each authorization to remain reconstructable.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Legal asked who approved three trips, and I’m still piecing it together from screenshots.”
Markus Martin · Corporate Travel Manager
Administers a regulated enterprise travel program and must provide authorization evidence for booked travel.
What is at stake
Several confirmed trips cannot be tied to a reconstructable authorization after traveler roles changed. You must weigh booking continuity against an audit record that cannot be recreated later.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- booking continuity vs. authorization traceability
- role flexibility vs. immutable approval evidence
- audit deadline vs. cross-service validation
- least-privilege access vs. operational visibility
