How Can I Troubleshoot Trip Submission Issues in TripLog?

When using TripLog, it's not uncommon to encounter challenges related to trip submission, editing, or resubmission. This guide provides clear steps and guidelines to resolve these issues effectively.

Common Reasons for Trip Submission Issues

1. Trips Marked as Personal

  • Problem: Trips categorized as Personal cannot be submitted.

  • Solution: Change the trip's category to Business before attempting submission. This adjusts the trip's eligibility for submission.

2. Incomplete Trip Details

  • Problem: Incomplete trips cannot be submitted.

  • Solution: Verify and complete all required fields for your trips before submitting them. This ensures no missing information blocks the submission process.

3. Previously Submitted Trips

  • Problem: Trips that have already been submitted cannot usually be resubmitted for the same period.

  • Solution: Review your company’s policies on modifying or correcting previously submitted trips. Often, adjusting a submitted trip requires manual intervention or additional assistance.

  • If this issue applies to you, consult any company-provided training or documentation for further guidance.

Key Considerations When Submitting Trips

  • Ensure that all necessary trip-related information has been filled out.

  • Always check the designated category (Business or Personal) of each trip before submitting them.

  • If you encounter policies or system restrictions, additional help from your administrator may be necessary.

Troubleshooting "Zero Trips"

  • Scenario: If TripLog states “zero trip” when attempting to submit, this often indicates that all trips are marked as Personal and thus excluded from submission.

  • Resolution: Change the category of these trips to Business and retry the submission process.

Handling Policy-Based Restrictions

Some submission restrictions result from company-specific policies. Always consider these when troubleshooting issues like:

  • Modifying submitted trips

  • Resubmitting trips for past periods

Check your organization’s specific systems for documentation or training provided during onboarding.
