The online booking functions in Travel Planning are integrated with external reservation systems that communicate with the service providers. This integration enables SAP users to access the following functions:

  • Check availability of travel services
  • Additional information about selected travel services
  • Price information
  • Processing of reservations by the respective provider
  • Synchronization of SAP Travel Planning data if booking changes have been made in the external reservation system

You can use the following reservation systems, for example:

  • AMADEUS
  • Galileo
  • HRS
  • BIBE

To be able to carry out online booking using one of these reservation systems, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

  • Your company must have signed an agreement with the reservation system for the use of the interface and have a user ID for the system.
  • A network connection to the computer center of the reservation system must have been set up.
  • The identification code for your company assigned by the reservation system must be entered in Customizing (see the IMG activities in Customizing for Travel Planning under Master Data -> Technical Control Parameters for Travel Planning -> Sales Offices)

More information and contact addresses for setting up a connection to an external reservation system can be found in the documentation under Help -> SAP Library -> Financials -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Technical Prerequisites for Travel Planning.
