Error in Travel & Expense of ESS

Hi All,
We have deployed a ESS package in the portal. And we are able to view some services.
We are getting the following error, with the Travel and Expense(All My Trips). Actually all the services under Travel and Expenses are giving some kind of errors. But i want to check the My Trips and Expenses one. It is giving the following error.
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: no jcoMetadata found for RFC function 'PTRM_WEB_CCNUM_MASKING'! Please verify, that your model is consistent with the ABAP backend: 'RDX'.
Our HR SP is 34 and EPortal 7(NW 7) and ECC6 is SP 14.
Can anybody suggest us in correcting this error.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Travel Expenses through ESS Not Moving to the MSS of Immediate Boss

Dear Gurus,
After the travel request has been approved by the immediate boss on MSS, employee is creating the Travel expense
report for the same request number through ESS.
But After saving and Sending the travel expense report for Approval through ESS by the employee,
Expense report for Approval is not Moving in the MSS of his Immediate Boss.
Kindly suggest how to achieve this, Immediate boss should approve/Reject the Travel Expense Report through MSS.
Any standard workflow existing for this ?? For Travel Request we are using 20000050 and it is working fine.
For Travel Expenses through ESS:-
We have already activated 20000040 and configured the same in T Code SWETYPV.
Object we are using is BUS2089.
Kindly let me know which Event and Functional module is configured in T Code SWETYPV.
Or any other steps we are missing Or any other Workflow to be used to achieve this ???
We need Travel Expense Approval on MSS by the immediate Boss.
Regards,
Edwin

Hi,
Try checking agent assignments of task TS 20000135:
Tcode PFTC:
Task type: Standard Task
Task: 20000135
Display
From top menu choose: Additional data --> Agent assignment --> Maintain
Click "Attributes..." and chooce "General Task" and then "Transfer".
Then click Red and White ball icon (refresh index Shift+F1).
Check also (using SWDD) that WS20000040 has agent maintained for task 20000135. I am not sure if it is there in standard. You can choose superior of the initiator rule from drop-down if it is not maintained.

Error initiating travel expense form

Dear Guru's,
We have an issue displaying the Travel Expense form in ESS. We are not using the PDF forms but the HTML , no ADS has been set up and followed the exact steps mentioned in SAP Note 1032311. So we deleted the URL parameter in the URL parameter from the resource and set the PDC path as a non-static URL to the tripform. We deleted also the Iview property ....UsePDF=true.
Next we changed the setting in the Travel Management Expert View refering to Adobe Forms from 0 into 1, and we modified feature TRVFE using the SAP form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM .
We tested the forms in trx TRIP, PR05 and PR_WEB_1200 and all results were positive since the form is displayed. However using the Iview create travel expenses the ' Error intiating trip forms' remains. The Iview My trips and expenses gives the same negative result trying to display/print the form. However the Iview display trip form seems to do something and is only given the error that the trip parameter for the pernr is missing while previewing it, which is clear since no trip has been selected.
Help needed.
Kind regards.

Please check you have the correct roles assigned for the URL in PCD path as this is a common cause of this type of error
As per the note..it needs to be;
ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_fol
der/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_trave
l_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.tripform
Can you open it from portal in administrator mode?
Also check note 944221 to check the ADS config.

Meals per diem error in Travel Expense Report

Hi All,
I am getting the below error while creating the Travel Expense report. Meals per diem is not getting calculated. Let me know if i missed any configuration here. Appreciate your help.

Hi,
As said by the error message you are missing entries in table T706V : Per diem for meals scaled by hours.
And here you are missing the entry for trop provision variant "ID" for the country "IN"
Please start SM30 on view V_T706V to enter meal allowance amounts per countries and per hours.

Self approving travel expense on ESS/MSS

Hi ,
I am implementing travel expense module. We are also implementing ESS and MSS for TE. Workflows are being used to send aprovel request to managers.
I want to know if some one has implemented a check for self approval. i.e do any one know how to check and restrict self approval?
If a manager creates a expense claim and it comes on his universal work list because of some wrong work flow or substitution then how can we restrict him from approving?
Can this be done by authorisations? or by using a badi or user exit?
Regards,
Amit.

You can handle this thing in two ways.....................
1> We can always check that if the employee and approver are same then ...workflow should not allow person to approve travel expenses.We can use the exculded agents function while specfying our agent in workflow task.
i.e if travel expense approver is person having sap id
test01
and employee who creates trip is also
test01
.Then above functionality won't allow person to approve his own trip.
2. In case of substitutions we have to use badi to restrict this stuff.
As per standard SAP UWL functionality you can delegate/substitute anyone in Organization. If you want using BADI WF_SUBSTITUTE can restrict user which can come in search for delegation/substitution as per your requirement.
Please refer SAP Note 977069 - Substitute API: Providing the BAdI WF_SUBSTITUTE.

Error in Travel Expense Manager

No Entry in Table T030 Argument NBP 130 Fld: KNOTS
Message no:56016

I suspect you get this error message during posting?
There is new behaviour with note 1421746 and the intention for 1BS entry in T030 is this: If the cross company
clearing accounts are vendors or customers and the posting line also contains a vendor (e.g. employee vendor), the cross-company clearing accounts cannot be directely posted to (debit cross company vendor, credit employee vendor). Therefore the posting to the cross company clearing accounts must happen via an additional clearing account. And this is searched per default for the activity HRT and the symbolic account BS (entry 1BS in T030).
Now you can implement the note 1421746. Doing this, this above described split will only occur, if a posting line indeed contains
a jurisdiction code. If not, the split will not occur and subsequently the 1BS account will not be searched for.
this is a new behaviour which is intended. If the involved company codes are located in different countries and the Jurisdiction Codes are active in 1 of these countries, the document is split into 1 document per company code connected with the cross company clearing accounts. This was done directly in FI before, now the sending application sends 2 documents.
Exactely this behavour you already have if the 2 company codes are in different logical systems or you choose a document summarization on the selection screen of '1 document per company code' or '1 document per CO object'.
This split functionality is just re-used for a new case which is the above described country difference with Jurisdiction codes.
So basically check your entries in T030 for 1BS and the clearing G/L account!!

Reg- Travel and Expense in ESS

Hi All
We have already implemented Travel and Expense in ESS. Now we have below issue
When the user creates Expense Report (Self Service -> Travel & Expense in ESS portal), at Review and Send step (step-3), there is a button - "Display Reimbursement Details"
If user clicks this button, a PDF form is opened in new window. Problem is, all the expense types (like Airfare, Employee Activities, etc) are grouped under Others and showed in Summary of Expense Reports in the PDF form
My doubt is, how this pdf form is getting generated, is it from std. SAP or by means of config. we need to handle? Also user says, previously it was working fine (means- All the expense types were displayed correctly in Summary of Expense Reports in the PDF form)
But now all expenses are clubbed and showed as Others with total amount. Please help me and provide your inputs
Vinoth

Yes you can control in customisation
check
V_T706S_RECEIPT and V_T706B1
Furthermore, in FITVFELD_WEB can you check that you have the field
'receipt date' activated, it checks the entries in V_T706S_RECEIPT
Please also check the customising in FITVFELD_WEB to ensure corresponds
with customising in FITVFELD etc
One more thing to consider is the Badi "TRIP_WEB_CUSTOMIZING" as this
makes it possible to limit the expense types for the dropdown list if
this is a requirement but it does it before the trip schema is
chosen. That means that the limitation will affect all the schemas, and
not only one.
check note 1557710
1. T-code SPRO. Click on Financial Accounting (New) -> Travel
Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Travel Expense Types ->
Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts

Hi,
I am getting the same error (com.sap.pcuigp.xssfpm.java.FPMRuntimeException: User UGARG does not exist in this period). This user is already there in ECC as an employee and its validity is same in pa30 and su01. How did you resolve this issue?
I am using EP 7.0 SP12, ECC 6.0 SP 12, PCUI/ESS SP 10
I have installed the following business packages on portal server:
Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP) - BPERP5ESS11_0-10003288.SCA
SAP PCUI_GP 600 - SAPPCUIGP10P_1-20001215.SCA
SAP ESS 600 - SAPESS10P_10-20000512.SCA
What is the difference between SAPESS10P_10...sca and BPERP5ESS11_0...sca? Do I need to install both on portal server?
Thanks,
Umesh Garg

Probably, your backend is not compatible anymore with your Portal.
You may need to upgrade your SAP_HR and EA_HR support packages.

Change Error Message in Travel Expenses

Hi All,
I'm having a problem changing one of the error messages on the Create Expense Report screens in ESS Travel Expenses.
[Here's a screenshot|http://www.scehardt.com/news/image003.png]
I've changed the label to say Ticket instead of Document. Now I need to change the error message to match. I found the error message in the backend, but it is formatted as Required entry field "&" is empty. Does anyone know where Document Number is inserted into the error message? Alternately, is there a way to change the error message for that field to a custom message?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Friend,
Find the code snippet something like this in your code
IWDMessageManager msgMgr =
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
 msgMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(
 wdContext.current<YourNodeElement>().getAttributePointer("<YourDocumentNumberAttribute>"),
 IMessagePackScopingComp.<Your_Error_message_key>, new Object[] {"Document Number"});
 // Replace The Document Number from last line with your desired text
Here you can change the Text which is going to be supplied to message pool at run time.
Further you can follow this tutorial for message pool and error message.

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.
RD

Hi,
Can you please share the solution you got for this problem as we are also facing the same kind of problem.
thanks
