International business trips are business trips involving a border crossing between the home country and a foreign country, as well as trips that take place exclusively abroad.
In addition to business trips, the Travel module can also be used to process
mileage logs and travel folders.
With the mileage log, a separate statement of the kilometers
driven can be created from the entered mileage allowance receipts (and the
assigned vehicle license plate).
The travel folder is used to enter several trips (over a
self-defined period) together and have them approved together. This allows
simple and fast data entry and a collective approval for several expense
reports.
General background information on the topic of business trips is very extensive in Austria and Germany.
Since this area may change continuously due to legal adjustments, external websites that document the respective legal basis are referenced here.
