Branching to Trip Costs and Material Withdrawals 

Use

You may want to enter important information in addition to time data, such as the details of a business trip or a deduction of materials used.

You can branch directly from the time sheet to the relevant transactions in the Trip Costs and Goods Issue components.

Branching to these transactions simplifies data entry. This function should not, however, be seen as a form of integration between the time sheet and these components.

Features

Branching to Trip Costs

Choose Environment ® Trip costs to branch directly from the data entry screen for the time sheet to the data entry screen for trip costs. You can then create a trip. The working time attributes entered in the time sheet are copied to Trip Costs as default values.

You cannot use the approval procedure for the time sheet to approve business trips. Travel Management has its own approval processes for this.

For simplified data entry, the system proposes clock times as default values when you process trip data. These values are not related to the clock times entered in the time sheet, nor are they taken from the employee’s work schedule.

After you have saved the trip data, you automatically return to the data entry screen for the time sheet. The system copies the trip number to the relevant field.

Branching to Goods Issue

You can also branch to the Enter Goods Issue: Initial Screen transaction to record a material withdrawal. Once again, there is no direct integration with the time sheet.
