 Travel Profile (Infotype 470)

Definition

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.

Use

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.
