Integration

Data from the travel request is not transferred to a travel plan as is the case in the SAP ERP system. We recommend the following alternatives:

Use online booking for your employees. You then only need Travel Planning and Travel Expenses.

Instead of using online booking, have your employees submit a travel request and then have the complete trip booked by a travel center or travel agency.

When the trip is over, your employees can transfer the travel request data into an expense report.

Integration with Funds Management

When users specify estimated costs that are greater than zero in travel requests, the system creates a receipt for the estimated costs, which is forwarded as a commitment to Funds Management.

Caution Caution

After the trip takes place, the user needs to manually delete the automatically created receipt in the expense report.

End of the caution.

For more information about the integration with Funds Management, see Travel Request .

Features

Employees can use this service to create a travel request (via SAP workflow, for example) that is sent to a manager for approval before the trip is started. For more information on the workflow in Travel Management, see Workflow Scenarios in Travel Management (FI-TV) .

The travel request contains all information the manager needs for deciding whether to approve it:

  • General data

  • Cost distribution

  • Amount of advance (if applicable)

You can also use the travel request as a purchase order at a travel agency. To do this, you create a text form in the editor box, which the employee fills out and uses as an order form.
