Roles in Travel Management

Use

Beginning with Release 4.6, roles(single or composite roles) are available in SAP Travel
Management that cover the most important tasks of the employees involved in processing trip
data. Assigning roles to users enables the users to work in the SAP system purely on the basis of
tasks and functions.

The roles in SAP Travel Management support both the decentralized and central organization of
the trip process, as well as a mixture of the two with the focus on decentralization.

For the decentralized organization the travelers are responsible for entering their own travel
requests, travel plans and travel expenses in the system. For a mixed or central organization these
tasks are carried out by a travel assistant on behalf of several travelers. The role of the travel
administrator allows the settlement of travel expenses to be organized centrally, whereby the
settlements are entered and checked centrally.

You can configure the standard roles to meet your individual requirements. You can also create
new roles.

The following roles are defined as standard for SAP Travel Management:

Traveler SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER
Travel Assistant SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_ASSISTANT
Travel Administrator SAP_FI_TV_ADMINISTRATOR
Approving Manager SAP_FI_TV_MANAGER_GENERIC
Payer of Trip Advances SAP_FI_TV_ADVANCE_PAYER
