Reiseanordnung

Reiseanordnung is a German term for an official directive that authorizes or regulates travel for an individual or group. It is used in public administration, corporate organizations, and institutions to formalize official travel and ensure compliance with policy.

A Reiseanordnung typically contains: traveler’s name and position, purpose of the trip, travel dates, origin and destination, mode of transport, accommodation, funding and per diem arrangements, a detailed itinerary, required documents, and the issuing authority. It also specifies applicable policy references and conditions for reimbursement and reporting.

Context and variants: In the public sector, Reiseanordnung is often issued by a supervisor or travel office and may be termed Dienstreiseanordnung or Dienstreise. In corporate environments, a similar document is called a travel authorization or travel order. The form and level of detail vary by jurisdiction and organization.

Relation to other terms: Reiseanordnung is part of broader travel management, alongside Reisegenehmigung (travel approval), Reiseplan (travel plan) and expense processing. Understanding its terms helps ensure legitimate, documented travel and proper accountability.
