cost center optional in Travel Management

[Former Member]

Can we implement Travel Management without implementing CO ?

If yes, then it is not necessary to maintain cost center in infotype 17/1/27?

How to make cost center as optional?

Hi,

Without implementing CO we can implement Travel management.

SAP has allowed to create minimum Master Data ( for example CATS Mini Master for this there is no need of implementing OM FICO) for this no separate licence is required.

Cost Centre is Mandatory to maintain Infotype 0017 (Travel Privileges).

If you want to post the Travel Expences there should be a Cost Centre.

Hi Prasanth

thanx for your reply.But what i really doubt is if there is no CO then from where does Cost Centre comes which you say that is mandatory to be maintained in Infotype 17 or for that matter Infotype 1 or Infotype 27.

Hi Nikhil

In SAP for HR, you need to have a basic (Mini) FI set up that includes the Controlling area, company code, cost center hierarchy etc. Even if you do not implement payroll this basic FI settings are mandatory. With this set up you are able to have cost centers in IT 1, 27 and 17.

IT 17 is mandatory if you want to Travel Management.

Hope this helps you to understand the use of cost center
