Hi,

If you have access to service.sap.com/tm which is the SAP Travel Management page there are documentation about how to start from there.

Dear MVR,

The best prctise document by itself is a config document.

I would cover most of the cofig areas, the other customization aren't standard. It is custom made per company code.

It would be difficult for us to give you the whole document.

Kindly post your queries then there so that people here can help you.

Cheers,

Hi Raj,

Thanks for ur reply. i too agree with your comments.

i am working in SAP HR module. i don"t have any knowledge about the travel management which comes under HR MODULE. (IF I AM RIGHT, IT WAS EARLIER UNDER fi/co).

Now also we are able to see under Finance accounting (new) node in SPRO.

Raj My queary,:

As of my knowledge we can do travel management configuration in 3 ways.

1) integration with payroll

2) with FI/Co module

3)ESS/MSS

Please correct me on the above..

i have gone through some of the document. a littile bit confuse for me on below.

travel planning

travel request

settlement

we can do/use in any of two in configuration. we can use three also.

where to start, how to start is confusion for me. i hope, u understood now where i am .

One thing is we want to integrate with HR process.

Please guide on this...

Thanks

Hi,

-> The first point of start would be to create a trip provision variant for the country you are implementing.

This trip provision variant is not company code specific.

->To create schemas. for instance - domestic schema and international schema.

-> To create purpose of visits.

-> To create expense types.

-> Assign expense types to wage types.

-> Assign wage types to symbolic accounts.

-> Assign symbolic accounts to gl accounts.

-> Restrict expense types to schemas

If you are planning to settle the travel expenses through FI-AP, then you need to create vendor master records for each employee and link the vendor to the employee number.

These are few of the important steps that you need to configure in Travel Management.

Regards,

Raj
