Trip Entry Scenarios (Navigation Process) in SAP FICO

Purpose

Due to the many different requirements for entering trip facts, the entire employee trip entry process has been given a flexible, modular structure. This makes it possible to set up the entry process for each trip according to its individual requirements. 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 (activity: Define trip schema).
• You can call each entry function within the process at any time and as often as you wish.
• The entry processes and the entry scenarios are similar because you can use the same functions.

Prerequisites

The navigation process through the entry functions for trip facts can only be performed in an employee trip.

Process flow

Within an employee trip, you can call the entry functions using Goto ®... or Extras ®..., whenever the system allows you to.
