The
travel profile contains the rules through which the enterprise-specific travel policies in
SAP Travel Planning
are applied. The travel profile thus contains the traveler's rights.
Assigning the travel profile to a traveler ensures compliance with the travel policy when trips are planned and booked for that traveler.
The rules defined in the travel profile control what transportation and accommodations are displayed for an availability query. They also enable the available offers to be subdivided according to different priorities.
You make the settings in Customizing for
SAP Travel Planning
in the activities under
Alternative: Feature TRVCP
You fill a travel profile by assigning values from certain parameters in Customizing for
SAP Travel Planning
.
A travel profile is made up of different combinations of the following parameters:
Parameter |
Example |
---|---|
Trip rule |
For domestic trips, only the car rental provider XY may be selected. |
Trip rule priority |
Highest priority (in the case of an overlap with other rules this rule will have the highest priority later). |
Class rule |
For flights longer than 8 hours, the traveler may fly First Class. |
Travel service category |
Flight, hotel, car rental, rail |
Trip activity type |
This rule applies for all activities (such as customer visit, seminar, and so on) |
This set of rules is applied for price and availability queries of transportation and accommodations, as well as for booking.
The travel profile structure functions regardless of how strictly the Travel Privileges are regulated in your enterprise. You make the settings as to the extent to which you want to apply the travel policy in Customizing for
SAP Travel Planning
under
Trip Rules and Profiles
