Creating overlapping trips in PR05

Hi all,
I am currently working on a Travel and Expense project. The client requires the ability to create Travel Requests and other trip objects that could possibly overlap in terms of time. SAP returns a stop-error when a trip is to be created in PR05 (or PR01, PR02, HRTRV_IF_MODIFY_TRIP, etc) that overlaps the period of an existing trip. Has anyone encountered this as a requirement, and can you make a recommendation on how to proceed?
Thanks for the help,

Hello Marcos,
It is possible to do what you are describing. However, this functionality is only available in the later releases of SAP. I believe that this became available in ECC 5.0 (but it could have been 4.7). If you are running one of these versions, the control is accessed via the FITVFELD or FITVFELD_WEB transactions. It appears in the form of a checkbox called "Overlapping Trips Allowed" on the main config screen for a schema.
Best Regards,
Marc

Overlapping Trips using Transaction PR05

We are in the process of upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. In our 4.6C system we allow overlapping trips between a Weekly Report (transaction PR04) and a Travel Expense Manager Report (transaction PR05). This is accomplished using feature TRVPA, the WRC part is set to 1. This part is working correctly in our new ECC 6.0 system. In our 4.6C system we are also allowed to have overlapping trips in just the Travel Expense Manager transaction. What we are experiencing with the ECC system is that this is no longer allowed. We get a hard error message stating that "trip data for that period already exists.
Is there any way around this? We have a need to allow overlapping trips using transaction PR05. Any help would be greatly appreciated seeing as we are to "go live" this weekend.
Thanks,
Sue

Good afternoon

Travel Management - Overlaping Trips

Hi,
This is a Travel Managment issue.
I have a requirement to permit overlaping of trips in transaction PR05.
For example, there is an approved trip from 01/01/2009 to 05/01/2009 in PR05. If you try to enter an overlapping (concurrent) trip say from 02/01/2009 to 04/01/2009, the sytem will not allow you to do so. My requirement is to remove this restiction. Hence allowing the user to create expense claims for overlaping periods in PR05 which is linked to ESS.
Your response is highly appreciated and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks
KP

HI,
In the trip schema select the tick box of over lapping of trips. Once you select this, you would be able to create multiple travel request on the same day.
Goto the following node:
Travel Management --> Travel Expenses --> Dialog and Travel Expenses Control --> Dialog Control --> Define Schema and Individual Field Control.
In the above select overlapping of trips allowed tick box.
Hope this helps.

Overlapping trips (for Travel Request - TP04)

Hi, Gurus
Is there any way so that I can create 2 or more travel requests using the same period for the same employee? It would be a desirable requirement here in our company.
I know that through 'FITVFELD' transaction I can choose, for a given travel schema, if I want to allow overlapping trips (checkbox "Overlapping Trips Allowed"). But it works only for the expense reports ("TRIP" transaction) related to the schema selected. For travel request (TP04) I can't do that.
An example: with "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checked for schema A, I am able to create 2 or more expense reports (schema A) from 11/09/2010 to 11/16/2010. But if I try to create a new travel request (TP04) within this period, the system throws an error.
PS: As we know, unfortunately schema "PL" (Travel Planning) doesn't have "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checkbox... It manages some travel request parameters.
Thank you
Roberto

System should not allow overlapping trips

How to restrict the sytem - overlapping trips should not be allowed in R3 as well as ESS. Error message should be displayed.

That is a standard functionality.
Say you have created a trip from 01.01.2009 to 05.01.2009 and created an expense report for it.
Now you try to create another travel request from 03.01.2009 to 07.01.2009, system will give error

Field which store the person who created the trip

Hi guru,
we can't to find which field of which table actually store the person who created the trip inbehalf of the employee. But I can only found the person who lastly change the trip in table
PTRV_HEAD field UNAME. Also what is the logic of when the field UNAME get updated, since for my testing, when another logon user change the trip's head data like date, reason this field get changed. But this field won't be change if the user only change the trip's line item data such as addition info, amount of the trip etc. Is it the real logic of the system?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Liz,
You can go to the transaction PRTE in there the table AEND you will find all the changes that occur for the particular trip.

Acrobat 8 creating overlapping hyperlink areas

I created a 50 page word document and added a Table of contents. The items in table of contents are hyperlinked to the sections in the document. When I convert it to PDF, the hyperlinks get converted too, but their "hover" area is too big.
The result is that even when my cursor is 1/2 inch away from the link, I can click the link. On the table of contents page, this has created overlapping links. If I click on a link, it takes me to some other page. Curiously enough, the same thing happened when I tried to make a PDF from a newsletter I made in InDesign.
Any solutions for this problem?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Now that you mentioned it, I changed the font and now it works fine. It is font specific. I was originally using Cambria font.
When I make the PDF directly from Word's PDF plugin, I do not have this problem. It is only with Acrobat.
I am using Word 2007. My Acrobat version is 8.1.3.

Enhancement for overlapping trips in MTR

I am implementing MTT2.0, previously we used the ZEnhancementProvider to allow overlapping trips by writing the validation for the "TRIP_OVERLAPPING_VALIDATION" action. However in MTR2.0 I cannot find sufficient documentation to help me to recreate this validation, the concept seems to have changed completely. (I have a copy of the enhancement guide, this does not contain enough detail).
Is it possible to trap the default validation and write my own any more? If so can you let me know where the supporting documentation is for this?

Hello Marina,
The new MTT 2.0 uses mCAF. The enhancements are completly different. They are much more powerful because you can enhance almost all parts of the application.
For mCAF I suggest you read this <a href="/people/karsten.strothmann/blog/2006/12/12/the-mobile-client-application-framework--enhancing-mobile-applications-made-easy.
For the enhancement you are talking about please have a look at com.sap.mbs.mtr.trip.process.impl.TripValidationImpl.validateOverlappingTrips()
Have a nice day!

Overlapping trips

Hi,
I just wanted to make changes in the trip schema by clicking on over lapping of trips to allow employee to create one or more travel request on the same date.
I am able to do the changes in Development & Quality, but I am not able to do changes in Production client (Says: it is not modifiable).
Please suggest to select the Overlapping of trips.
Regards,
S.Srikanth

Hi Rajagaopalan,
Thanks for your reply.
I know that we cannot make direct changes in Production and it has to go through Develpment -> Quality -> Production.
We move the changes based on the Transport request from Develpment -> Quality -> Production.
In this case, when I am selecting the Schema and clicking on the tick box of Over lapping trips in Travel Management - > Employee Self Services - > Interface Configuration for Web Dynpro Interface in Travel Management - > Schema and Single Field Control for Web Dynpro and click on Save it is getting Saved but no Transport request no.
And thats were I got confused, if no Transport request how to change it in Production.
Regards,
S.Srikanth

Creating a trip request using HRTRV_IF_MODIFY_TRIP in 5.0

I am working on modifying an existing Travel and Expense application for a new client. We've moved the existing application from 4.6C to a 5.0 system. The issue I'm having is the standard function module for creating trips, HRTRV_IF_MODIFY_TRIP, is erroring out. It is using an obsolete transaction (PR01) to create the request. While processing this transaction it attempts to use a field that doesn't exist. Does anyone know of an updated version of this function module? The only other module I've found is BAPI_TRIP_CREATE_FROM_DATA and that one is using the exact same transaction and returns the same error.
While I'm at it, I'll post the error just in case: "Field PTP02-KZTKT. does not exist in the screen SAPMP56T 1200." KZTKT is the trip activity type. When I look at the screen in se80 it seems to be there, but oddly it doesn't show up when running the transaction directly.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Wanted: help with creating overlapping arc selections

I use Elements 6, make album pages, and want to replicate a design I have seen. There is a background image. Around the edges are several overlapping arcs which "frame" the image. Each arc has a white stroke outline and is a different color (obviously pulled from the background image). The interesting thing is that where two arcs overlap the stroke outlines of both arcs are still visible, and also the section within the overlap has a third color. My questions are:
1. How do I create the arcs in the first place? I tried extending the canvas, creating ellipses and moving parts of them over the edge of the background image. This worked for the first arc, but Elements balked at doing more! Should I create arcs on separate files and move them over?
2. Once I have two arcs overlapping on a page, how do I retain visibility of both their stroke outlines? And how do I select the overlapped area in order to recolor it? How do I make different layers opaque and transparent at the same time, and only show the parts I want visible? What tool(s) do I use?
Does anyone know? Or is this something too advanced for Elements? Thanks. MH1071

You could use the ellipse shape tool to make the arcs. Drag out an ellipse shape; arching the top to taste. Click on the subtract from shape icon in the options bar and use the ellipse tool again to cut the ellipse.
Use a clipping mask to clip your image to the shape. See this link:
http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/Photoshop_Elements/layers/layer_groups_clippi ng_masks/1_layer_groups_clipping_masks.htm
For the outlines, each shape and use the stroke command (edit<Stroke) to stroke each shape. Note: Stroke will not be included in the clipping group...put it in a blank layer above the clipping group. (On PC, Ctrl click the shape thumbnail will select the shape.) To get the strokes the way you want, you may have to experiment with their position in the layer stack.
For the solid colors, you can clip solid fill adjustment layers to the shapes. This is nice because it makes experimenting with color very easy. Just double click the color fill to bring up color picker and swap out color.
Here's an example of what I mean. My layers palette UI will look different as I did this using Photoshop. Everything done however, would be done exactly the same way in Elements.
Edit: For the olive green solid color fills, I used selections of the arc shape to mask the area I wanted blocked in with a solid color. (Use black paint to hide color; white paint to show color) This is why it isn't in a clipping group. (You could but I didn't in the above example.

Create Overlapping Financial Period

Hi,
my question is that ;
- actual values to be stored, change based on the update period (I've monthly, weekly updated projects)
- "store period performance" work with financial periods
- for same time span monthly and weekly financial periods cannot be created. Error message says "The financial period timescale overlaps with an existing financial period. The financial period was not added."
what is the solution ? How I can create these financial periods or any other way to store actuals ?
thanks for replies ,
hatice

Overlapping financial periods is not currently possible.
There is an outstanding enhancement request for this functionality to be added so I would contact Oracle and add yourself to:
"Is there a way to put in overlapping financial periods? [ID 900334.1]"
Only alternative I can think of is to create a separate database for weekly vs monthly financial periods. Maybe someone else has a more creative solution.
