travel expense management

Hi there,

We're currently doing an inofficial code sprint with german odoo 
partners in Berlin for the next two days.

We're thinking about designing and implementing a module for travel 
expense management.
Is there an oca module already available because we just found a github 
repo from humanilog (they're also at our inofficial meeting),
which we would like to use and extend in odoo 11.

Is a travel expense management also relevant for other countries than 
just Germany?
We're asking that because we have some regulations in Germany including 
national and international business trips and how the expenses are 
reimbursed, e.g. fixed rates for many cost types.
If there are also legal regulations in other countries, we might design 
the module a bit more generic.

We want to include the following:

* An employee has to apply for business trip before the trip actually 
takes place.
* An emloyee would like to get reimbursed for all traveling specific 
costs with German regulations, including:
** costs for using public transportation (airplane, train, boat, taxi, ...)
** costs for using their own car to drive to target (mileage allowance)
** costs for overnight stay (hotel costs)
** costs for food
** other costs


We're looking forward to your soon response.
Maria, Katja and Ben
