Analyzing your organization's travel patterns and environmental data is now easier than ever. We have launched a new data source in the report generator called Travel. This update allows administrators and finance managers to create customized reports to track everything from per diem levels to climate impact.
Insights for Sustainable Travel
By using the Travel data source, you can extract detailed information about both domestic and international trips. The report enables you to compile data including:
- Per Diems and Deductions: View details on tax-free per diems, meal deductions, and accommodation.
- Travel Patterns: Get an overview of distances traveled by employees and the extent to which different types of trips are conducted.
- Mode of Transport: Follow up on the transport methods used and registered emission values (CO2e) to support your organization’s sustainability goals.
How to Get Started
You will find the new data source by navigating to Reports > Report Generator > New and selecting Travel from the list of available data sources.
To include data on environmental impact, the setting Enable environmental and sustainability reporting must be checked under Settings > Travel > Travel Expense Reports > Sustainability Follow-up.
Please note that users manually enter the CO2e value when registering their trip, as the system does not currently use automatic standard values.
Good to Know
There are some limitations to be aware of:
- Postings and Amounts: This initial version of the data source does not include information regarding account distributions (postings) or specific amounts.
- Denmark: The field for accommodation allowance is not yet available in this report.
- Finland: Unique Finnish expense options cannot be used as selection criteria at this time.
