Beginning with Release 4.6 roles (single or composite roles) are available in SAP Travel Management that cover the most important tasks of the employees involved in processing trip data. By assigning a role to a user you ensure that the user can use a purely task and function based method of working in the R/3 System.

The roles in SAP Travel Management support both the decentralized and central organization of the trip process, as well as a mixture of the two with the focus on decentralization.

For the decentralized organization the travelers are responsible for entering their own travel requests, travel plans and travel expenses in the system.
