Which document records travel authorization details such as route, purpose, and costs?

• A. Travel records detailing route, purpose, and approved authorities.
• B. Vehicle service log.
• C. Purchase order.
• D. Employee attendance sheet.

Answer: (A)

The travel records detailing route, purpose, and approved authorities are the documents that capture travel authorization details. This record set specifies where the trip will go (the route), why the trip is needed (the purpose), and who approved the authorization, along with any estimated or actual costs. It creates an audit trail for accountability and budgeting when using agency vehicles.

A vehicle service log tracks vehicle maintenance, a purchase order covers procurement of goods, and an employee attendance sheet records presence or hours worked. None of these document travel authorization details like a travel record does, so the travel records detailing route, purpose, and approved authorities is the best fit.
