Getting You There - Travel Management Project

SAP Travel Management (TM) is a subcomponent of SAP Financial Accounting. Travellers access SAP TM via the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal. TM has three sub-components: Travel Request, Travel Planning and Travel Expenses.  The subcomponents are integrated so that data flows from the travel request to the travel expense components.  This ensures that data need only be entered once. SAP TM also integrates with other SAP components such as Financial Accounting, Cost Centre Accounting, Funds Management and Human Resources.

During the Travel Request Process an online travel request is created in ESS which workflows to the traveller's supervisor for approval. A one-step or a two-step approval process may be utilised, depending on whether the travel request is for domestic or international travel.

The Travel Planning Process involves booking travel services (airfares, accommodation, etc.,) and incorporates the travel itinerary and associated actual costs into SAP TM. An automatic notification to issue the airline ticket is sent to the Monash travel management company when the travel request is approved.

In the Travel Expense Process, corporate credit card data is uploaded into SAP TM, and the travel costs are settled against actual trips. Non-travel costs paid via the corporate credit card will be settled against the relevant General Ledger (G/L) account. The SAP TM expense subcomponent can also handle the processing and reimbursement of out-of-pocket, travel and non-travel related expenses.
