 Process documentation Trip Data Entry (Travel Expenses)  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You need trip data entry to enter and change the data of an employee trip in the SAP system. It is the basis of the overall process of Travel Management.

Prerequisites

You cannot create an employee trip using trip data entry until you have completed HR master data editing for the employee.

Process Flow

The process of trip data entry is flexibly structured to be able to deal with the wide variety of trips and trip data correctly and efficiently. The process is determined by the trip entry scenario and the trip schema and is made up of many different entry functions, each of which can be used to enter specific trip data.

You start the process by choosing the functions Create Employee Trip or Change Employee Trip. You end the process by saving the employee trip in the database. As the overall Travel Management process shows, you can enter trip data at various points. This means that the process is usually started several times. If you want to enter trip data for a business trip for which no employee trip has yet been created in the database, you need to create an employee trip. If you want to enter trip data for a business trip for which an employee trip has been created in the database, you need to change the employee trip.
