The
Corporate Travel Policy
for an enterprise is usually written as a detailed travel policy that controls the type and extent of the business trips allowed
.
In
SAP Travel Planning
the travel policy is stored in trip rules and
travel profiles
that comprise a flexible tool for managing travel policy. You can use these tools to present and combine rules for the different areas in the system, for example:
Routes and trip destinations (countries, regions, towns)
Trip categories
Service classes
Trip duration and time scaling
Priorities
You make the settings for the travel profiles in Customizing for
Travel Management
under
.
Assigning travel profiles to travelers ensures compliance with the travel policy for each user. The assignment of the travel profiles can be controlled in the following ways:
individually per employee using infotype 0470 (travel profile) or
Collectively using organizational criteria by means of the characteristic TRVCP (see Customizing for Travel Management under
).
