SAP Travel Management enables you to group trip countries with other trip countries or trip country groups. This trip country/
trip country group assignment is called a trip area hierarchy. The
trip area that is assigned to a trip country group is accounted
with the trip provisions of the trip country group.

Example 1

All trip areas within the European Union should be accounted according to the same reimbursement rates. Every trip area in the European Union can, for example, be assigned to the trip country group EU.
The advantage of this is that the common reimbursement rates only have to be stored for all trip areas in the European Union under the trip country group EU.

Example 2

Switzerland (represented by the country key CH for Switzerland) should be accounted according to the same reimbursement rates as France (represented by the country key FR for France). Trip country Switzerland can therefore be assigned to the trip country France.
Trip costs accounting then accesses the reimbursement rates assigned to the country key FR for trip country Switzerland.

In this IMG activity, you can assign different trip areas to another trip area. Furthermore, you will store the validity period of the assignment for each of these countries.

Note:

You set up and activate trip area hierarchies in the IMG Activity Travel Expenses Control (Expert View) (see line Other settlement, item 3).

Prerequisites:

You need to have defined the trip area to which you want to assign other trip areas in the IMG activity Define trip areas.
