Travel Workflows

The workflow connects Travel data, tasks and approvals. The specific process definition is set up as XPDL; the process data must match the field and variable names expected by Travel.

Important variables

Variable	Use
`from_date`, `to_date`	Start and end of the trip
`ta_id`	TA ID of the traveler
`sourceLocation`, `destinationLocation`, `reason`	Trip locations and trip purpose
`travelFolder_UID`	Link to the travel folder
`status`	Process or trip status
`absence_code`	Absence reason for time assignment
`timeCorrections`, `timeCorrectionsMode`	Time corrections and their creation mode
`process_author_workflowid`, `process_author_group`	Process author and responsible group
`last_approval_workflowid`, `switched_workflowid`	Approval or forwarding information
`approved_XXXX`, `canceled_processauthor`	process-specific approval and cancellation values

Configuration rules

Use only variables whose meaning is unambiguously defined in the process and in the actions used.
If a process has several variants, document the variable list and the transitions per variant.
Reconcile changes to status values or variable names first with the Travel actions, reports and exports.
After changes, perform a complete test with request, approval, query, settlement, time correction and cancellation.

The placement of the process definition in the implementation sequence can be found under Step-by-Step Implementation Guide.
