 Data Synchronization

Use

The user interface provides you with the function for data synchronization. This function synchronizes data between the Mobile Travel Expenses (MTR) and the SAP system, thereby ensuring that the data is up-to-date in both applications.

Features

The data synchronization process includes the following steps:

  • Customizing settings are updated from the SAP system.

  • Data for input help is updated from the SAP system.

  • Trips that have not yet been synchronized, and/or trips that have been marked for synchronization, are sent to the SAP system.

  • Receipts that have not been assigned to a trip in MTR and that are marked for synchronization are sent to the SAP system. The SAP system automatically assigns them to a trip if a trip spanning the date range of the receipt exists.

  • Trips that have been changed in the SAP system are sent to the offline application.

  • The credit card document buffer is synchronized to reflect any new items that are available.

    Note Note

    This only occurs when MTR controls the credit card document buffer.
