Benefits and Travel Manager

Hi,
In our company we have some type of claims  like medical, transport etc where in the entitlement of an employee is maintained under one customized table. and utilization amount by the employee is maintained under another customized table.
We use .NET as front end to apply medical claims.
Let me give an example
Each employee is eligible for 400 dollars every year for medical claims, so in our customized table for medical entitlement we have an year and entitlement amount. Suppose when a staff apply a claim for 20 dollars, the .net first check the entitlement table whether any record for the current year and create a record in the travel manager for 20 dollars and updates the customized utilization table with employee number and the amount. Next time when staff apply for another claim again the same check will be done. dot NET  uses  RFC function modules to interface with SAP in order to check the eligibility. Our system is working fine with this current customized tables and Customized RFC function modules.
But now we want to move away from the usage of the customized tables for entitlement and utilization maintainence. Is there any way we can tap on SAP to meet this scenarios. Just curious to know how the other companies are maintaining their benefits, that is they make use of travel manager or benefits. I am checking on the benefits module.
Thanks and Regards

Hi there!
I don't have a complete answer for you, but may have some useful information.
We use Benefit Plan and IT0170 Flexible Spending Accounts to store employer paid Medical Reimbursement money. It is controlled with Start/End dates like other infotypes.
As far as posting payments to it, we have outsourced that piece to a third party vendor, but you can store the initial amounts here easily.
To setup the Flexible Spending account plans go to:
SPRO>Personnel Management>Benefits>Plans>Flexible Spending Accounts.
Sorry I can't help with the posting payments or Travel expenses, we don't use that part.
Hope this helps a little.

  • HR BENEFITS AND COMPENATATION MANAGMENT

    HI EXPERTS!!!
    IS THERE ANY SAMPLE OF BLUEPRINT THAT I COULD USE FOR BENEFTIS OR COMPENTATION MANAGEMENT???

    Hi Deepthi,
                               Sorry for the late reply. See Benefits is a component which is specific to the US and the UK. Every employee has to apply for the benefits that does not deal with the Payroll. one more things benefit contributions are also transferred to the payroll. there is an integration wtih the payroll module.
    Secondly, Compensation management is unique across the world. This basially tells you about the reviosn of the salaries. Whether all the employees are getting paid along wth the indsutry standards are not. It aslo deals with the payroll since u activate the comp adjustements in the compensation mgt it gets updated in the basic pay IT of the payroll.
    SO travel mgt also it is unique across all the countries. It deals with the payroll, in terms of the travel expenses integration with the payroll.
    I hope it clarifies your query.

  • Integration FICO and Travel Management

    Hi all,
    I have issue here.
    I am using travel request.
    I already configure that the travel advance made will goes to 1 GL balance sheet account.
    And for Customer/vendor trip costs postings I already configure it goes to each vendor account.
    When I see the FI/CO document posted from the  travel request transaction.
    The journal is correct, but I need to put the Profit Center to the GL balance sheet account.
    I need to know how to configure the posting so the system will automatically fill the profit center ONLY for the GL balance sheet account for the travel request.

    Hi,
    Use transaction 3KEH, 1. Define account(s), 2. Next, click on PrCtr Determination, 3. Then, under Maintain Entries, click on Rule Values and complete the settings here.

  • Benefits of training and event management

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me the benefits of Training and Event Management
    Regards,
    satish

    Hi,
    The SAP HR Training and Event Management Packaged Service provides functions to plan and manage all kinds of business events for both manufacturing and service companies.
    It is assumed that the training department would be responsible for the creation of the courses or other business events, including duration, schedule, location, resources and so on. It would also be presumed responsible for classifying business event types that share the same characteristics or deal with related subject matter (e.g. language or data processing courses) into business event groups.
    For both types of company, an internal training catalogue has been set up covering:
    1) company introduction
    2) business office training
    3)  management skills training
    4)  social competency training
    5) functional training
    6) computer skills training
    7) health and safety training
    It is assumed that in a typical manufacturing company, the control of booking and course administration processes lies within the HR department and would become the responsibility of training managers and administrators.
    Resources for each course can be managed within the solution, and tables for room, instructor, and locations have been set up and can be added to or amended.
    Appraisal models have also been provided to allow appraisal of a course by the students, and of students by the instructor. Standard roles provided are training administrator, training manager, line manager and a range of standard reports is also provided.
    Business Benefits
      Choice of manufacturing or service company version
      Training catalogue covering a number of events
      Includes standard roles, appraisal models
      Wide range of standard reports

  • PR05 access Travel Manager and Expense Report screen

    Hi,
    Can anyboy suggest how to use T Code PR05?
    1. When I enter T Code PR05, first screen is for Travel Expense Manager. This screen is used by Manager to Approve or Reject Travel Expense Report. Then I have to click on create button to get into Travel Expense screen.
    Can we get into Travel Expense screen in T Code PR05 directly instead of getting into Travel Manager screen?
    If yes, please suggest what settings needs to be done?
    2. Can we create Travel Request in T Code PR05?
    3. Can we manage the Travel Manager screen and Travel Expense screen seperately by Security, such that, Traveller should access only Travel Expense screen. He shouldnot get into Travel Manager screen. Similarly, Manager should be able to access only Travel Manager screen but not Create Travel Expense Report screen.
    Please suggest.

    I'm not sure if I get your point but PR05 functions are build on authorizations.
    So if the manager should only be able to approve than you can give only this authorizations to the manager. (transaction PFCG)
    And for Approval from Manager you should set up a worfklow with a work item - so the manager should only have display rights for PR05.
    (Or even better - just use WebDynpro POWL for the manager to approve without a workflow running in the back)
    Yes you are able to create a travel request via PR05 - just enter future date.

  • Travel Management: Role and authorization

    Dear forumers!
    What standard travel management role can I copy and modify according to my requirements in order to let the user only watch t-codes TRIP, PR05, etc. without a right to edit data? Or there should be some other actions with a role to make it for watch only without editing?
    Standard roles are:
    SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER - we don't need this one
    SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_ASSISTANT
    SAP_FI_TV_ADMINISTRATOR - I already use this role
    SAP_FI_TV_MANAGER_GENERIC
    SAP_FI_TV_ADVANCE_PAYER - we don't need this one
    SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_MANAGER - I already use this role
    Best regards,
    Eldar

    Hi,
    Always the best process to do is to copy the standard role and customize it for own authorization concept (Business requirement). I think there is an another thread with the same issue in SAP HCM as well.

  • Travel Management-Receipt Maximum rates and Default values

    Hi
    I need some help on one of the issue we are facing in Travel Management. We are expected to Go-live very soon.
    We are unable to apply a very basic check of receipt maximum amount at
    the receipt entry in the portal for travel expenses. This functionality
    is very much provided by SAP in the backend configuration but it is not working in the backend also in our Development system.
    This is concerning the maximum and default amounts in
    View V_T706B2 are related to the IMG
    "Define Influence of Control Parameters: Receipt Maximum Rate"
    I have analysed the table entries but could not
    get the desired solution.
    In the meanwhile based on SAP note: 808437-Warning message when max
    rate is exceeded negative value, we looked into the code and found that
    the code for checking the maximumum amounts is "commented" in the
    lastest SP32 SAP HR version in the DEVELOPMENT system we are working
    on.
    I also looked into (SAP Note: 1114398---Country and Region when
    reading maximum amounts and defaults) and have found that the
    correction suggested in this note may already be applied as our D35
    System EA_HR patch level is already SAPK-60211INEAHR and Note
    correction in SAPK-60203INEAHR is of old level, hence we have not applied this correction.
    Furthermore I have checked and found that in our IDES system these checks
    for Maximum amounts and defaults are working fine. The IDES system is
    at level 0002 and highest support package is SAPKE60002.
    Many thanks in advance !
    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh:
    We had a situation in which our expense types require both a warning message and request for additional information when the maximum is exceeded. We were told that ECC6.0 can handle only one action per expense type/amount. In our old system, R4.6C, it could handle multiple actions per amount for a receipt type.
    I am not sure if this is your issue - having multiple actions for a expense type/amount combination.
    We got around this by leaving one action at the expected amount and setting the other to 0.01 lower.

  • Error message in SAP Travel Management

    Hi alll,
    I am trying to change an address in PRMD tx code
    Error message:  Enter a house number
    Also it is not possible to change existing addresses as the same error comes up.
    I also tried in other company codes and there it seem to work fine so the issue might only be for company code 0376
    Could you please let me know if there is any restrictions from the field u201Cstreet and house numberu201D so that it can be entered and changed as free form text?
    Thanks for your help!
    It is SAP 6.0

    Are you sure you mean PRMD?  This is the T-code to update HR master data and is not related to travel management!
    Did you mean PRAA perhaps if you were trying to update master data from HR to vendor as there are some known issues around the structure of the PRAA report and house number and address (see the notes 570023 and 663350)
    cheers

  • Using Sharepoint as an archival and document management

    Hello, 
    I was asked by my manager to look for possible solutions to convert our archive paper file cabinets that are full of student records into digital format. We do not utilize sharepoint yet at the school but I was researching and found that sharepoint does a good
    job in archiving and content management. The ultimate goal for us is:
    1-  to be able to scan the documents in the file cabinets and save them into folders on sharepoint. We want to be able to create a folder under a specific students' name and then scan all documents related to that student into that specific folder. 
    2- Give permission to specific staff members to access and search for docs by student name. 
    I wanted to ask if  and how this is possible to achieve by Sharepoint knowing that we have an estimate of 120,0000 paper docs to scan. 
    I would much appreciate your help. 
    Thanks!

  • Problem with Per diem calculation in Travel Management module

    Dear ALL,
    We have configured Travel Management module in SAP and we have an issue with per diem calculation, viz.,  whenever we add an additional destination in the trip (T.code TRIP). 
    Ex: Employee's travel plan from 10/8/2011 (06.00 hrs) to 13/8/2011 (06:00 hrs)... in 24 hrs format.  When the employee goes directly to one destination and coming back, the per diem calc is coming right.  i.e., per diem amount for 3 days. 
    But when we add additional destination between the trip period-  viz.,  either 10th eve (18.00 hrs) or on 11th Aug-  the per diem calc is being done by system for 4 days instead of 3 days only.
    In otherwords, for every additional destination in the itinerary, one extra per diem is being calculated (when we simulate in T.Code: PR05)
    Would appreciate guidance ASAP.
    Regards,
    Santosh
