Travel Manager: Cross-Process Entry 

Use

The Travel Manager, with its simple and intuitive handling, is directed at occasional users who want to process their own trips or to employees that have a few travelers assigned to them. The Travel Managercovers all the process steps in Travel Management in a single transaction with a uniform interface design.

Depending on your Customizing settings, you can use the Travel Manager to:

·        Create Travel Requests

·        Create and Book Travel Services (with and without a template)

·        Create Travel Expense Statements (with and without a template)

·        Display an Overview of All Trips

Integration

·        Since the Travel Manager supports the entire Travel Management process, the data is fully integrated in Payroll (HR), Financial Accounting (FI), Cost Accounting (CO), and Funds Management (FM).

·        You can obtain reporting data in the Business Information Warehouse (BW) and the reports in SAP Travel Management. The reporting data covers both pre- and post-trip reports.

Working with the Travel Manager

In each section of the Travel Manager (travel request, travel planning and travel expenses) you can work through the screen from top to bottom as you are used to doing with printed forms. You carry out these actions in the processing area. You do not have to switch between tab pages or screens, all the data is available at all times in the overview.

In the processing area, you can expand () or collapse () the individual data areas using pushbuttons. This allows you to choose between displaying all your data or displaying data from selected data areas.
