Workflow Travel Management 

Purpose

Based on the two following Workflow scenarios we will show you a typical Human Resource approval and Settling process in the area of travel management. The approval procedure described in the demo can also be transferred to other flow processes in the area Human Resources (See Leave Granted).

Approving a Travel Request

An employee enters a travel request in the R/3 system. It is then automatically transferred to the superior responsible.

The superior who checks the travel request can either approve of the request, refuse it or send it back to the employee for correction. This demo is created ander that the superior approves of the travel request of the employee.

After the request of the employee has been approved, the system automatically notifies him about the

approval by mail.

Approving a Business-Trip

The employee enters all trip data in the R/3 system after his return. The expenses department checks whether the trip data need correction or whether the trip data are consistent. Should the trip data be consistent, the system transfers them to the sperior responsible to check trip expenses reimbursement. The superior can refuse the trip expenses reimbursement, can send back the trip data to the employee for correction, or , as assumed in this demo, approve of the trip expenses reimbursement. The results of the travel expense accounting are then transferred to the payroll accounting for for payment.
