Travel Management - ESS/R3

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We need to implement Travel Management for one of our clients.

I checked in R/3 its integrated with FI/AC....

I wanted to know whether travel management can be implemented in R/3.i.e without ESS...

What are its advantages/disadvantages?

Regards,

Yes, Travel Mgmt is a seperate component and do not have any dependencies with ESS/MSS. You can implement it without ESS/MSS and EP.

If your client is on ECC 6.0, EHP 2 and above, it is possible to use web applications (WebDynpro ABAP) for the below scenarios.

- Employees can raise travel request, submit expense report to their reporting mgr. These requests can go thru the approval process. In this case, it is required that employees should have login credentials. License required.

- Travel administrators can raise request and expense report on behalf of employees using Web Applications.

- It is possible to access these web applications using URL on Browser. Or by using NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC).

- In later stage, when the client goes for ESS/MSS, its very easy to integrate with it and there is no further impl. cost for travel during that time.

Hi,

We can Configure Travel Management either with Integration with FI or with Payroll.It it is integrated with FI all employees should be created as vendors for the purpose of travel expense settlement. If it is integrated with Payroll Travel Expense settlement will be done in Employees salary.

If you Implement Travel With out ESS then Travel Request, Approval, Expense approval should be done in R/3 so every employee should have an R/3 log in. Better go with ESS.

Thanks and Regards,
