Travel purpose options identify the reason the employee is requesting travel. Oracle Travel Request Management ships with seeded values for travel purpose. The seeded values are:

- Sales Visit
- Pre-sales Visit
- Customer Visit
- Vendor Meeting
- Conference
- Training
- Teaching
- Internal Meeting
- External Meeting
- Other

Travel purpose options are used for informational purposes; for instance, a manager can review the reason for travel before he dispositions a request. A manager can also create reports based on travel purpose.

Travel purpose options are not used in the processing of travel requests; therefore, you can add new, modify, or delete an existing travel purpose option.

In this topic, you will modify travel purpose options.
