Trip Activity Type in travel planning and travel expenses

[Former Member]

Hi Friends!

What is the difference between,

Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Trip Rules and Profiles ->Travel Policy -> Define Trip Activity Types

and

Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Control Parameters from Trip Data -> Define Trip Activity Types

Confused!!!

Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Trip Rules and Profiles ->Travel Policy -> Define Trip Activity Types

comes in the travel request page

Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Control Parameters from Trip Data -> Define Trip Activity Types

comes in Travel Expense report.

It can be used to define the amount for expense types

Thanks for reply. What I understand is that though the name (Trip Activity Type) is same but these are two different things.

Now the question is what the Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Trip Rules and Profiles ->Travel Policy -> Define Trip Activity Types is used for. Is is only for documentry purpose?

Hi,

Trip activity type can be used to validate Maximum entitled amount for a particular expense type(see table T706b2).. U can create different trip activity type and cotrol the maximum entitled amount based on that.

Thanks and Regards,

Yes this "Trip Activity Type" is mainly for reporting purpose

The other one in Expense is for the purpose mentioned by Shilpa
