The Travel Manager, with its simple and intuitive handling, is directed at occasional users who want to process their own trips or to employees that have a few travelers assigned to them. The Travel Manager covers all the process steps in Travel Management in a single transaction with a uniform interface design.

You can use the Travel Manager (depending on your enterprise-specific Customizing settings) to complete the following tasks:

• You can obtain reporting data via the Business Information Warehouse (BW) or the reports of the R/3 Travel Management component. The reporting data covers both pre- and post-trip reports.

In each section of the Travel Manager (travel request, travel planning and travel expenses) you can work through the screen from top to bottom (as you are used to doing with printed forms). You carry out these actions in the processing area. You do not have to switch between tab pages or screens, all the data is available at all times in the overview.

In the processing area you can open () or close () the individual data areas using pushbuttons. This allows you to choose between displaying all your data or displaying data from selected data areas.
