SAP Travel Management
Features & Functions
SAP Travel Management provides an end-to-end solution for managing business travel. The solution provides features and functions that allow you to perform:
- Travel planning and online booking – SAP Travel Management enables business travelers to book flights, hotels, cars, and country-specific rail options, as well as look up related information. In addition, the application fully supports communication with travel agencies, making interactions more efficient.
- Travel expense management – With easy-to-use functions that speed the entry and processing of travel expense reports and streamline accounting and settlement processes, SAP Travel Management reduces the administrative workload associated with travel expense accounting. Integration with SAP's mobile time and travel composite application enables offline access to expense reports, so travelers can create new reports and enter receipts.
- Corporate policy control – SAP Travel Management enables you to control both travel planning and travel expense management according to corporate travel policies. Online booking can be controlled by policy parameters, helping travel managers bundle travel volumes to preferred providers and negotiated fares. Management can implement effective travel policy strategies and easily control travel budgets for the global enterprise or institution, ensuring internal policy compliance as well as national legal and tax compliance.
- Travel management reporting – SAP Travel Management supports decision-making and facilitates the development and implementation of new travel management strategies. Preconfigured reports help you consolidate valuable data for supplier negotiations to further cut direct purchasing costs.
In addition, the SAP Mobile Time and Travel (SAP MTT) application enables field staff to access time-and-expense reporting functions anywhere, anytime – so they can increase productivity, reduce errors, and ensure compliance with business rules.
