Trip Templates
to Facilitate Planning of Recurrent Trips 
Use
To plan a trip and book travel services such as flight or hotel room until now you had to go throught the entire entry process for each trip: create a travel plan, enter relevant travel services, check their availabilities, choose and book a specific service.
The planning and booking of recurrent trips or trips that are taken by more than one person (at the same time) is facilitated in the current release by means of trip templates, that you can select similar to the way in which you choose a file template. This trip template, that you can create on the basis of an existing travel plan, already contains all relevant trip data. You only have to enter the date of the current trip - the system carries out all necessary availability queries independently, taking travel policies into consideration. You can modify the travel plan created in this way as you wish or you can click a button to accept it as it is and book it.
The authorization to create such trip templates is assigned separately from the normal authorization for planning and booking of trips. This ensures that not every employee is able to create any number of trip templates.
Effects on System Administration
Authorization to create trip templates is assigned within the Travel Planning authorization objects. For more information see the documentation under Help -> SAP Library -> Financials -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Authorization Check in Travel Planning.
