When creating a travel expense, an incorrect input tax code is defaulted

Dear experts,
I'm new with SAP customizing in Travel Management. I have an issue that I cannot solve and I've tried almost all possibilities.When an employee tries to create a travel expense in PR05, him being from Belgium, the default input tax code for any expense type is, for example V3. This code exists in FI and will be transferred correct into accounting. But, if the employee wants to change the the country key in the field Country of Receipt (found in additional info section), anything other than the domestic country (BE) will automatically change the input tax from V3 to V0, which we don't even have in FI.
I tried the following:
- checked under global settings and for Belgian trip provision variant there was always Input Tax per Travel Expense Type flagged and V3 with cocd BE;
- checked each and every expense type for the default input tax and all have V3.
I had to create a country grouping EU for all European Countries. All maximum rates for different expense types have been defined using this EU code. Might it be this grouping?
Any new expense type, similar to any of the ones I have problems with, will keep the default V3 tax code no matter if I change the country of receipt.
Thank you in advance guys,

No need anymore for an answer, I found out what I was looking for under Define Country-Dependent Default Values for Expense Types

Error when creating a travel request with Advance amount

Hi Gurus,
When I create a travel request with an Advance amount and try to save the same, the system throws up an error msg : "Trip country does not exist in the system (T005).
However, it allows me to create the travel request without this error if i dont enter any advance amount in the travel request.
I checked the tables V_T706L and V_T706O and found my trip county to be existing.
Regards
Prakash

Hello Prakash,
The following are the prerequisites for transferring trip costs to accounting. In other words when you try to create and save a travel request with advance you are involving accounting entries and therefore the following needed to be checked:
1.Travel Management and Accounting are both at Release 4.5A. If at least one of the systems
has a release level lower than 4.5A, follow the instructions in Customizing for ALE.
2. For payment to be effected, vendor accounts must exist in Accounting for the respective
personnel numbers.
3. The following Accounting tables must be replicated in the Travel Management System using
Customizing transports:
Company Codes (T001)
Countries (T005)
Input Tax Codes (T007A, T007S)
Document Types (T003)
4. The transfer of settlement results
More relevant in your case would be the point 3. Countries(T005) not defined in TM.
Hope the above provided you more information.

Expense Types with Input Tax (GST) - mapping to GL Account for reporting

We are in the process of implementing Expenses for countries like Australia & New Zealand, which have GST.
Expense Types were created and different Tax Codes were defaulted to the expense types, as per the requirement. Some Expense Types have no GST while some do have a Tax Code to 10% Input Tax
The issue is, I cannot find a config step to map the Expense Types to Tax GL accounts so that the Finance office in Australia / New Zealand can submit their claims end of the year by pulling up a report from this GL. I can do the regular mapping of Expense Types to specific GLs. I can even settle & post the expenses to FI and reimburse the employees but there is no way I can record the receipts which have taxes on them into the tax GLs for reporting purposes.
Any inputs on how this can be mapped or addressed is much appreciated. We went live with a bunch of countries but, the GST quotient is holding us off from going ahead with AU and NZ.
Here's an example - Expense Type is Dinner. This is mapped to GL 123456. When an employee submits an Expense with the Dinner, it is settled and posted to FI against the GL 123456. The reimbursement is done. But, the Dinner expense receipt has 10% GST which the Finance team wants to submit and claim the tax breaks end of the year. We want all the expenses with 10% tax be mapped to GL 800900. But this is only for reporting reasons. No postings done against the GL 800900.
So, we are looking to map all the Expense Types with Input Tax 10% to GL 800900 and all Expense Types with Input Tax 15% to GL 700600
Here's some of the Tax Config that was done ...
1). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Define Global Settings ... Input Tax is set to "Input Tax per Travel Expense Type"
2). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Travel Expense Types -> Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts ... in the Expense Type, "Tax Code" field is set the either 0% or 10% Tax Codes

Issue is resolved ... I misunderstood the logic. Tax Code is linked to a GL account. And when I run PRRW, I see the relevant Tax amount in against the trip

Enter an input tax code, not an output tax code in Txn CNMM

Hi All,
We are trying to use PROMAN transaction CNMM from Project systems for converting PR to PO. But when I try to do that I get the following error
"Enter an input tax code, not an output tax code"
So it seems that the system is picking the incorrect sales tax code in PO because of which the PR is not converted to PO then. But when I check in transaction CNMM there is no place to input a tax code anywhere. So the system is probably picking it from somewhere, but I am not able to figure out where is it picking it from.
Does someone have an idea about where the system is picking the tax code?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Can you do one thing in your testing server....
Create purchase requisition manually for that material and with respect to that requisition try to create PO without putting any tax code, and see whether you are able to create PO, keep the same document types at PR and PO level, (it should be the same when you create PO thru CNMM)

Self billing invoice with input tax code

Hello experts,
we are currently trying to implement a billing procedure with credit memos within the module SD. In this set-up the recipient of a service (company using the SAP) creates a credit memo for the renderer of a service (a debitor in SAP) showing the amount the recipient of the service/product has to pay. The credit memo will also show VAT (we currently only try to implement a process for transaction within Germany, no cross-border transactions yet). For the recipient of the service (= issuer of the credit memo) the credit memo is similar to an incoming invoice (self billing invoice). Hence, the shown VAT on this credit memo - if all other requirements are met - can be treated as deductible input tax.
In order to automatically process the credit memo correctly as incoming invoice it has to be linked to a tax code (Steuerkennzeichen) with tax type "V" (=input tax) (Vorsteuerkennzeichen). To achieve that we have created a new condition record (Konditionssatz) that performs that task.
So currently we create a credit memo request (Gutschriftsanforderung) which is linked to an input tax code (Vorsteuerkennzeichen) via mentioned condition record. We then create the billing document. During creating the billing document an accounting document should also be created. But that is where our approach does not work properly. The system creates a billing document (credit memo) but does not create the corresponding accounting document. We receive the error message:
Document .... saved (no accounting document generated)
Message no. VF050
When trying to release the document to FI via Transaction VF02 we receive the following, more detailed error message:
Only output tax is allowed for account 480000 1000, VZ is not allowed
Message no. FS215
This problem has to be somehow linked to the usage of an input tax code. If we perform the same procedure with an output tax code (Ausgangsteuerkennzeichen) we will not receive the error message and an accounting document is created.
It seems that the account determination is responsible for the described problem: Although an input tax code is assigned, the account key (as shown in the overview to the applied conditions on the items within the credit memo request (Item - Condition - Detail)) does not change from "MWS" to "VST" and therefore an output tax account (Account Number 480000) is determined for the tax amount. And for that output tax account the usage of an input tax code is not allowed.
Has anyone an idea how to solve the described problem or how to implement the billing procedure another way?
We are aware that there is such a functionality within the module MM called "Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)" but this is not suitable for our purposes since we want to implement this within SD and without the need to create an order first which seems to be necessary for ERS.
Thanks for your help,
Bernd

I had entered INR against the amount yet I keep getting this error.
Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance.

Input Tax Code mandatory at MIRO screen

Hi Gurus,
Is the input tax code mandatory in the MIRO screen? What's the rationale of making it a required field? If the country is tax free, it doesn't make sense to enter the tax code..
Kindly advise. Thanks.

Hi,
SAP had provided a tax code V0 ( Input tax = Zero ). So for all your purchases i hope you might be selecting any one of the tax codes either through info record or through manual addition.
If the tax code is V0 system wont calcualte any tax and post the cost without tax consideration. whenever it its not equal to V0 system will search for the respecitive condition records or formulas in order to relate the tax conditions related to that particualr tax code so as to post the appropriate tax postings.

Trip schema when creating a travel request

Hello,
Is it possible to choose a trip schema(table V_T706S) when creating a new travel request in transaction TRIP?
Regards,
K.

Hi Karim,
While creating travel request, you wont get an option of selecting trip schema. Because you are mapping the trip schema to the trip activity type, so that it automatically picks the respective trip schema mapped to the activity type.
Only when you are creating an expense report, the system will ask to choose trip schema and not while creating travel request.
Hope this helps.

Attach receipt soft copy against each receipt created in Travel Expense Report

Hi,
I want to attach each receipt to each expense line in Travel Expense Report.
I created one OSS message, for which SAP replied, that
GUID is the key for the receipts and the attachment will be linked to it. It is possible to attach because the pers.No., TripNo. and the GUID are available.
I didnot understand what is GUID and how do we activate it?
Kindly help me to understand.

Hi Vijay,
I think there's been some confusion here because it is possible to add attachments to individual receipts in SAP standard (you don't need OpenText).
It is relatively new functionality because you'll need to be on EHP6 or higher and have activated business function FIN_TRAVEL_4, see details at this link:
Travel Management 4 - Financial Accounting (FI) - SAP Library
If you have activated FIN_TRAVEL_4 then check the link below for specific information on how to activate the option to add attachments to individual receipts:
Transfer of Attachments to Receipts - Travel Expenses - SAP Library
Hope this helps,

WD Exception when pointing ESS Travel & Expense to multiple backend systems

Hi All,
I have a query regarding ESS Travel Management pointing to multiple backend systems.
ESS MSS is installed on a single portal(Portal1).
ESS MSS is currently pointing to Backend System1. The requirement is that ESS Travel from Portal1 should point to various multiple Backend Systems therefore making ESS Travel region-specific.
Is this possible? and if so what are the pros and cons?
This is what I have attempted:
1. Followed the documentation from "Multiple Back End Support for the Adaptive RFC Model" [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Therefore, I created 2 JCOs namely: SAP_R3_Travel_R1 and SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData_R1 pointing to Backend Sytem 2. SSO and JCO tests successfully.
2. On the iview properties for ESS Travel & Expenses, I added the following to the Application Parameters: sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel:_R1&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData:_R1
3. I additionally created a system in the Portal under System Configuration pointing to Backend System2 and adding the SAP_R3_Travel_R1 as the default System Alias. Do I need to add SAP_ITS_XSS and SAP_WebDynpro_XSS system alias, if so how since it is seeing as redundant because it is added in the system I created for Backend System1.
4. I then tested one of the ESS Travel & Expenses iviews. I have the following error:
Accessing System XYZ is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System ABC. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly. A Server restart may be necessary!
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

FF753 - Apply an Expense Provision with Input Tax NVV

Good afternoon all,
My problem is that my client has firstly posted an expense provision: Expense (40) <===> (39 CME) Vendor
After that, the user wants to apply this provision and consider tax code N4 (Input Tax NVV: Non-deduct.Input Tax - 8%). Due to that, this tax code will not have posting position (Table T030K empty). The future posting should be something like this: (29 CME) Vendor <==> (31) Vendor
Both accounts have been customized with Tax category no blank.
We get the error FF753.
We have try to set this message like warning and we get the posting but if we run the Spanish VAT report S_ALR_87009895 (Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases) we do not get any VAT information related. We have only this problem with Input Tax NVV.
Any idea?
Please let me know.
Thank you a lot. Regards,
Daniel
