Expense trip issue

Hi all,
We have an workflow issue here.
Workflow for trip approval is designed in a way that after it gets approved from the manager, it goes to FI for further processing.Now the trip is getting locked when it is a"wating for FI approval" status. In this step unless the FI person approves the trip from his worklist, noone( even the FI person himselt) is able to make any ammendments/print/change the trip. This is irritating the client as they feel it is duplication of work to approve the trip from worklist & then do the changes in PR05.
They want that they should only get notification & should be able to do changes in PR05.
Can anyone please help.

Any replies please!!!

  • Report on Travel expense trip details

    I have been asked to gather information relating to mileage traveled by car, motorcycle and bicycle, and detailing the number of passengers where applicable from Travel expense data. None of the standard reports go down to this level of detail.
    I have tried creating a query using the logical database PTRVP to extract this information but the fields such as number of passengers do not seem to be available.
    Is this information only held in the TE cluster and I must extract from here?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded!
    Many thanks,
    Dannyboy!

    I need to programatically retrieve this information on a report rather than a transaction.
    I think I now have some code which will work but I was wondering if there is not a standard infoset I could use to get this information from the TE cluster?
    Kind regards,

  • 500 Internal Server Error while creating expense trip

    Hi,
    We have recently applied the following patches in the system:
    SAP ESS 600 SP13
    SAP MSS 600 SP13
    SAP PCUI_GP 600 SP13
    Now we are getting the following 500 internal server error on clicking 'Save and Send' while creating Expences from the portal.
    The error is happening to a few users in the live system. We are not able to re-create error in the Dev or qas environment. There is no ST22 dump for this error.
    The error is as below

    Hi Pinky,
    This error might be due to some data error.
    Complete all ur process steps just before "save and send" button.
    You activate the trace using transaction ST01 (only RFC checkbox checked).
    Now press "save and send" button. Go to ST01 session and switch the trace off and click on "analysis". it will give you the RFC's which are executed on predd of "save and send" button. apply break point in these RFC and check if it is filling any exporting parameter for error messages. Then try to get root cause of error. most of the time RFC error message on portal comes in the form of a dump.
    Thanks

  • Round Trip Issue / Question

    Greetings,
    First time using Soundtrack Pro - I wanted to clean up an audio segment in FCP. I right-clicked on the clip and sent to STP. However... after arriving the app hung up and I had to Force Quit. Not having exp with this app - I trashed the .stap file that had saved to the desktop as well.
    Of course seasoned veterans already know what happen... I went back to FCP and the clip is toast.
    #1) Am I totally screwed unless I can use a tool / process to resurect the clip?
    # 2) Suppose the scenario above happens again - can I get my clip back into FCP and try again? (If I don't trash the file)
    #3) Anyone here ever used FileSalvage?
    Thanks!

    i know what the problem is
    i am looking for a solution
    i have read the answer
    and I am implementing it
    I just wanted to have the final word - i found his
    original snippy comment useless
    thank you members of this self-congratulating web
    community
    those who actually care to provide non-sarcastic help
    are most appreciated.Just because you found it useless does not make it sarcastic. Also by your comments you have pointed out that you take things to be meant in the worst way possible. Granted his comment could have been phrased differently, but your reply was quite clear. Also remember this is a place you are comming for help. I would be very hesitant to bite the hand that is feeding you. And even though you have been less than polite to the members I will give you an idea. Truncate the number to 3 decimal places and then do rounding.
    Otherwise you can truncate to 3 decimal places subtract one thousandth and do normal rounding.

  • Is it possible to delete a trip (travel expense)?

    Hi,
    I have travel expense (trip) which has the status "settled/transferred to FI".
    However, due to something unforeseen, the trip had been settled, but was not transferred to FI. It is not visible in the vendor open items (FBL1N).
    A new trip has been created, settled and was paid.
    I now want to delete the first trip.
    How can I do that?
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    You can cancel the trip data(travel expense) using the tcode PR05, before the settlement of trip data is carried out through t code PREC.
    If you run the t code PREC for a particular travel expense, you cant delete the data.
    Hope this help you,
    Regards,

  • TRAVEL MGMNT -Calculn of Per Diem allowance for trip with Additional Destns

    Hello,
    I am facing this issue. Please help me.
    Details of Trip.
    Duration: 2 days exact
    Nature: Domestic.
    Additonal Destinations: 2
    Per diem allowance rate is 50 per day. So it should calculate 100(50 * 2 days). But it calculating 50*4 = 200.
    4 line items i.e. calculating per diem for additional destination. I have checked the config but without success.
    Pls help.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi,
    The system tries to settle per diem allowance for each trip destination.You might have defined per deim allowance for 24 hrs. So it is calculating allowance for 4 days.  To get allowance for 2 days, you have to define per deim allowance sclaed by hours.
    To configure per deim allowance scaled by hours,
    TM>Travel expenses>Trip reimbursement amounts>Reimbursement amounts for meals>Reimbursement amounts for meals/hours>perdeims for meals>Calculation guidelines:define meals per deim scaled by hours.

  • Travel Advance, Posting behaviour when change in Trip Status

    Hello,
    An issue arose with SAP Travel Expenses - Advances.  An advance was entered, then the request approved and settled. 
    No expenses were entered against the trip, but the status was then changed to "Trip Approved, To be setted".  This resulted in a reversing entry for the advance in the posting run.  No changes are displayed in PR05 (other than the statuses in the history tab) but when expenses are then entered against this trip, they are reiumbursed instead of being off-set against the trip advances.
    Has anyone run into this issue? 
    Thank you,
    Tammy Wilkinson

    Hi Tammy,
    It appears that the Settled status of the Advance was cancelled which resulted the posting run to reverse the original posting for advance.
    Entering a separate travel expense will only do the posting without taking the advance into account.  Two options to fix this.
    1) Delete the original advance and amend the approved travel expense and add 'advance' within the trip with expenses.  If the trip for expense is already attained 'Transferred to FI' status, you may need to cancel the original posting and apply the amendment.
    2) Delete the trip with expense transactions and re-submit the advance trip and once approved and settled, convert the travel request(advance) to travel expense trip by adding transaction.
    Let me know how it goes................

  • HP Envy 17 3D 1201tx issues, need urgent help

    I had purchased HP Envy 17 3D 1201tx notebook back in March 2011, but could hardly use it due to some personal problems at my end. However, after 8 months of the purchase, when i used it, I found the BDROM drive was not working, and later on the internal cooling fan also stopped working. As, I said, due to personal problems I could not contact HP, and the laptop was not again in use for many months.
    I had just about six months back started gettings SMART failure of HDD, and the hard drive gave way as well (sic).
    I've contacted HP just few months back to get a paid service, but rather giving service, they misbehaved. I'm now seeking help on HP support forum, please help me getting past the issues with this expensive laptop.
    issues:
    1. BDROM drive would not recognize/read any writable or re-writable CD/DVD and it only recognizes read-only CDs. 
    My query is "is the optical drive dead or service able?"
    2. Internal cooling fan is not working. Is it service able, can you guide me "how to open the laptop", so I can service or replace the cooling fan with a new one myself?
    3. Internal 640 GB Toshiba HDD that came with the laptop is dead now. I have selected the following two, can you advise, which is the best between the two:
    a. WD 1 TB LaptopInternal Hard Drive(WD10JPVT/WD10JPVX)
    b. Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drive 9.5 mm thickness 1 TB Laptop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM014)
    4. I also want to upgrade the RAM from factory installed 4 GB to 8 GB. Can you please advise me the dual channel RAM modules (i.e. 4x4 GB)  compatible with Envy 17 3D 1201tx.
    May, I request the experts here, to please suggest me the best of the compatible RAM for my laptop, so I get the maximum performance from my laptop. And, also the technical details of the factory installed RAM.
    I'm live in Delhi, India.
    Thanks in advance.

    Bdrom probably dead. Can buy a replacement one off eBay easy enough. Replacement normally only one or two screws.
    Personally I would go for seagate drive but western digital will be fine so long as you have the recovery media.
    Disassembly of laptops can be tricky if you are new to it. Too long to explain here but Google for a service manual for your unit or a YouTube video. With patience and a good screwdriver it's not too much trouble.
    Depending on what's wrong with the fan (man be just clogged with dust) you may need a replacement. Look for spares on ebay or spares supplier.
    Ram should be easy to find out, Google the part number or check the bios. You can check the manual for compatible ram or try Kingston/crucial ram checker database (not guaranteed but rarely wrong)

  • Travel Expense - Posting run error - Error during creation of posting run

    Hi Guru's,
    Look forward for your insights. Here you go with my question.
    We are implementing Expense Mgt with Portal with out scope for payroll in SAP.  I have set up Expense type, WT, Symbolic A/c to G/L Accounts. Im performing Unit testing currently.
    Created Expense trip in ESS, from R/3 tcode PRAP, have approved trip, and settled through Tcode - PREC.
    When I try to create posting run under transfer to accounting, I get following error
    Error during creation of posting run number (->PR1
    Message no. 56840
    I'm not sure why this error was popping up. Appreciate your suggestion.
    Regards
    Praveen.N

    Hi,
    Since you are trying to make payment through FI, you need to maintain ur employee as Vendor. You can do it through PRAA.
    So while creating posting run for this trip, it checks if the respective Vendor for this employee is maintained or not.
    Pls maintain it as vendor and see if the errors are still coming.

  • Travel Expenses Configuration

    Hello,
    I have a requirement from my client pertaining to the configuration of Travel expenses module in SAP.  It goes like this.  From the start date of the travel, there has to be a DA to be given to the employee based on the various travel groupings.  This DA slab is given on a day basis splittable into 12hr slab as well, i.e., if an employee takes a business trip morning 6 and comes back by 6 the same day evening and his per day eligibility is say 5000, then he can claim 2500 and not more than that.  The system has to throw an error message saying that he cannot claim more than 2500. 
    I tried to use the maximum rate configuration node, which is giving the error message based on the number of days and not based on hours.
    Can anyone please help me in how to go about solving this requirement?

    Hi,
    You have to use per-diems for this.
    Look into  SPRO - Financial Accounting (New)--Travel management - Tarvel Expenses -Trip Reimbursement Amounts-Reimbursement Amounts for Meals -Reimbursement Amounts for Meals/Hours.

  • Set trip currency according to personnel area

    We have a consolidated worldwide operations into one company code (in the US) but this company holds many employees who reside in other countries. We have set up a personnel area for each country, although all are assigned to the US01 company code. These employees are paid in their local currency (e.g. GBP, EUR, HKD) via local payroll companies. Expenses are recorded manually via journal entry.
    I would like to set up these employees to use travel management, but I cannot find a way to set travel expenses/trip currency according to their personnel area. In other words, I wish to reimburse my UK employee in GBP, Europeans in EUR, etc. When I try to change Trip Provision Variant for one personnel area, I receive an error message and am forced to change it for all personnel areas.
    The only solution I can find is to change Global Settings such that foreign settlement of receipts is set to "per receipt". I find this to be risky since the change would affect my 300+ US users as well as my 10-20 non-US users. I am concerned that a US user may complete their receipts incorrectly for foreign trips and inadvertently force reimbursement in foreign currencies.
    Please advise ...

    Hi Michele
    Yes, you can find out the currency from T500P and then checking the WAERS in T500.
    In the screenshot above, the departure country(or home country) is Philippines and the visiting country is Singapore.
    So when the employee arrives in SG, the receipt amount is shown in SGD and a comparable amount in PHP is also shown(As the amount has be reimbursed in PHP). It automatically factors into account that day's  currency conversion rate for SGD->PHP.
    You may want to check the parameter RECEIPTS for amount in local currency in the method USER_CHECK_RECEIPTS of the BAdi : TRIP_WEB_CHECK.
    Now all you need to do is to check if the employee's home country currency isn't equal to the receipt currency(left one in the screenshot), process the local currency(right one in the screenshot). Works well for single line item.
    For multiple line items, add up the amount of local currency of all line items and process.
    NB: USER_CHECK_RECEIPTS works for multiple line items in receipt page of expense report whereas USER_CHECK_LINE_OF_RECEIPTS works when you know the receipt won't contain more than 1 expense type. So better implement USER_CHECK_RECEIPTS to avoid processing only the first line item. Company's gain, employee's pain
    Do note that this BAdi works only for portal and not for SAP GUI.
    I hope you are abap developer.

  • HCM - PER DIEM  CONFIG IN EXPENSE MANAGEMENT

    Hiii
    I have configured Expense Type as " Acco PEr Diem and Meals Per Diem and have updated the tables V_T706V and V_T706B2 with a limit of CAD 500 but when I am creating an Expense Entry for CAD 2000  or any other amount it is not showing me any Error that it is beyond the permissible limit. I have assigned this error message in the config. Please let me know I I have missed out on something. I have only done things from SPRO / config.

    For Mileage you have to do the following configuration....
    Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Trip Reimbursement amounts -> reimbursement Amounts travel costs -> Miles/KM cumulation
    Define Miles/Km cumulation
    Assign cumulation procedure for Vehicle types/classes
    Define period parameters
    Define periods
    Define Flate rates for travel costs (table V_T706F)
    Apart from that you have to maintain table V_T702N_A ....travel cost settlement with miles cumulation or without miles cumulation based on your requirement.

  • Travel & Expenses Managers are receiving tasks for approval even when Saved

    Hi All,
    I am assigned some ESS Travel & Expenses application issues. One issue is
    Usually When the Employee tries to Create a Travel Request and click on "Save and Send" a mail is triggered and reqest will go to manager for Approval.
    But in our case, even when the Employees just Save the request, the request is going to Manager Approval with Email notification,
    I never worked on ESS Applications, and these issues are assigned to me.
    Could some one tell me where should we do the necessary changes (Configurations) to fix this issue.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    pls check event binding in TA SWETYPV, BO BUS2089. So there will be "request created" or "requested" and other events available. If both are active, WF will start in both events. Also a "changed" or "request changed" event can trigger new WF without making a difference if it is "save" or "save and send". So pls check event binding first, and maybe make an event trace in your system to see which events are effectively called by the actions performed. Then choose the corresponding one and enable WF only for that event
