OFTP_MD_010_50 - Maintain Travel Agency Processing Statuses

Vendor Master (General Section)   PERFORM Short Reference  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

In this step you define different processing statuses that indicate the status of a travel plan with regard to its processing by the travel agency.

One of these statuses can then be assigned by users when they create a plan. The plan requirements and the status are then sent to the travel agency for further processing. The agency assigns a different status, which is back-synchronized with Travel Planning. When the reservation activities are completed, a new status can be assigned again by the travel agency.

The statuses can be defined as required. The travel agency should be consulted to determine what statuses it will need to assign. You can specify values in the Maintain Travel Agency Status view that have an explanatory long text. The long text is displayed in the planning transactions of the status field as a dropdown list. Make sure that the texts are translated into all necessary languages.

Workflow

You can set up a workflow that includes the travel agency status. BUS2089 serves as a template. The attribute Travel Agency Status can be defined as a decision node in the workflow.

The status in the travel plan is checked when the authorization object F_TRAVL_S is called. This authorization object is included in the supplied Travel Management roles. There are no restrictions in the object because the statuses are not known at the time of delivery. If you activate this function, you also need to make a modification in role maintenance (transaction PFCG).

• Default for Travel Agency Status

You can define a default status for the travel agency, which is set automatically when the travel plan is created. You do this in Customizing for Travel Planning under Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Expert View -> Further Control Parameters in the activity Define Enterprise-Wide Control Parameters. Here you enter the value that you specified earlier in this IMG activity for the constant DFTL_STATUS. If no default status is specified, the default is the first value found for which the user has change authorization.

• Synchronization with the Travel Agency

You need to implement the synchronization of the status between the travel agency and the backend system yourself. Two BAdIs are available for this purpose. You should use the remarks in Travel Planning for synchronization with the travel agency.

The BAdIs are located in the IMG of Travel Management under Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Business Add-Ins and User Exits in Travel Management -> Planning:

BAdI: Adjustment of Various Process Steps in Travel Planning
Here you can either activate the existing implementation TRAVELAGENCYSTATUS or create your own program code in this implementation or in a new one.

BAdI: Adjustment of Various Process Steps in Travel Planning
Here you can activate the implementation of GET_STATUSAGENCY or create your own program code to read the status changed by the travel agency into the travel plan. You can also create your own implementation.
