Presenter: Allie de Nysschen Date: 11 March 2013

Overview International Travel Problem Solution Example How Personnel can report back on International travel How the International Office can extract information on International travel requests Requirements for the solution Strategic Roadmap

The International Office, is responsible for agreements between their own University and Universities all around the world creating partnerships and agreements leading to “Partner Universities”. In order to build a better relationship between partner Universities, they need to be visited by representatives of the University at great cost.

Problem Currently very little or no records are being kept regarding International travel. No Electronic process exists to manage the approval of International travel. No Financial records can be extracted without effort regarding International travel. No control exists regarding reporting on International travel. Personnel travel to countries at great expense without maximizing the benefit of the cost and do not include visits to Partner Universities because personnel are not always aware of partner Universities and the International office is not always notified when international travel takes place. International Office cannot report back on cost incurred for International travel.

Solution Create a system where personnel can apply online to travel internationally on behalf of the University. Ensure that an approval process is in place to approve or reject the application as well as notify all the relevant parties such as the International office regarding such applications in order for them to suggest partner universities to be visited to maximize the benefit of international travel cost. Create or integrate a process where the travel costs can be captured on the existing Finance iEnabler system which should also handle the finance approval process. Create a process where personnel who travelled internationally can report back on the travel request and where the specific report can be approved or rejected by a designated approver per department or faculty. Create a view where the International office can extract financial data that was created as a result of an international travel request as well as travel request data such as countries visited etc.

Example

Reporting by Travellers Functionality exists to ensure that a person cannot apply for a next travel request if the previous travel request report have not been approved. This is user controlled and can be turned off in {GCS2-11}. Code Description Default IT International travel Report required Y The traveller can capture a report as well as upload documents in the report option. Please note: Future inquiries can only be done on captured reports not on uploaded documents. A Specific approval process exists for the reports to be approved, here the approver may capture some remarks.

Reporting by Travellers Example

Reporting on travel request A specific view containing the existing finance tables as well as all the travel request tables exists where Oracle discoverer can be used to extract data such as: What was the total international travel cost for 2014 or per faculty/ department. What countries were visited in a specific year or per faculty/department Which partner Universities were visited in a specific year or per department/ faculty What was the specific cost per faculty/department for International travel. What was the specific travel cost of a specific person, what countries were visited and what partner universities were visited Which partner universities were not visited in a specific year, but the country was visited

Requirements for this solution The client must use the Personnel iEnabler system as well as the Finance iEnabler system Full Integration with the existing Finance iEnabler system, but restricting the defined items to travel related items. Setup of an approval hierarchy in {GCS-10}, The user must decide if approval takes place per Department or per Faculty. Setup Routing system with notifications for approval of travel requests. Maintain Finance code structures. Maintain travel request Code structures. Setup SOD values as required. Security settings for LOV’S for IE8 or later releases

Strategic Roadmap Roll out the International travel process for students and Other Users. Extend this Application to also cater for Domestic Travel.

Maintain Finance Code structures Create Travel Cost Codes and link the S&T cost amount - {FPMM-25} This will be prepopulated with values, but can be changed by the User. The Finance system will only display rates in the “Payment Items” of zones linked to the Arrival countries that is not the resident country. If no rate is displayed a specific country is not linked to a Zone for the reason that the normal rates for the zone does not apply because it may be too expensive, in this case and the user must get an order made out via the defined or non defined items for S&T Costs

Maintain Finance Code structures Create a Travel request Commodity code in {FPMC-2}. Link the commodity code to SOD ‘WA’

Maintain Finance Code structures Create general defined items in {FPMM-3} linked to the Travel request commodity code

Maintain Finance Code structures

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Partner University - {GCS-2} The user must add all partner Universities in this option with the following information: The institution should be active. Partner University Indicator should = ‘Y’. Country code should be populated using the LOV. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Travel request Reason codes – {GCS-37} The user must add all the relevant reason codes to be used. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Travel request Reason codes on the WEB application

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Create Zone codes - {GCS-41} This will be prepopulated, but the user may apply changes. A zone code have to be created for every different S&T rate. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Link Travel Cost Codes to International Zones - {GCS-42} This will be prepopulated, but the user may apply changes. The economic zones will be used to link S&T rates to a zone instead of a rate linked to every country. If a specific country in a region has a different S&T rate then a new Zone code have to be created for this country. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Link Countries to International Zones – {GCS-38} This will be prepopulated, but the user may apply changes. The economic zones will be used to link S&T rates to a zone instead of a rate linked to every country. If a specific country in a region has a different S&T rate then a new Zone code have to be created for this country. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: City Definition codes - {GCS-39} This will be prepopulated, but the user may apply changes. Example:

Maintain Travel Request Code structures: Airport Definition codes – {GCS-40} This will be prepopulated with comprehensive list of most airports in the world, but the user may apply changes and maintain this list. Example:
