Trip Entry Scenarios (Navigation Process)

Purpose

Due to the many different requirements for entering trip facts, the entire employee trip entry process has been given a flexible, modular structure. Therefore, there is not a strict sequence of steps in the entry process. You can call the entry functions individually, usually directly from the initial screen of each entry scenario.

With its trip entry scenarios, Travel Management simply gives you the framework in which you can navigate freely.

Since you do not have to adhere to rigid entry processes, there are several advantages when recording trip data:

You can interrupt the entry process at any point - by saving the employee trip - and resume recording later at any time.

You can suppress entry functions that you do not want to use at all via Customizing for Travel Management (see Customizing for Travel Management under Travel Expenses → Dialog and Travel Expenses Control → Dialog Control → Define schemas and individual field control).

You can call each entry function within the process at any time and as often as you wish.

Prerequisites

Navigation through the entry functions (such as, Enter receipts, Enter deductions, etc.) can only take place for trip data in one employee trip within one entry scenario.

Process Flow

Depending on the entry scenario, navigation to the entry functions within an employee trip usually takes place as follows:

Call from initial screen via pushbutton (for example, weekly report)

Call from initial screen by changing tab page (travel expense manager)
