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.

Displaying Travel Expense form as attachment to UWL workitem
Hi experts,
We have customized the travel expense workflow that is WS20000040.
When the requestor raises a travel expense request it goes to the manager for approval in his UWL.
There by default, according to the standard functionality, when approver clicks the particular work item, he can see an attachment attached to the work item, which on clicking, leads to transaction PR05.
Within that transaction when he clicks 'Travel Details' only then he can see the PDF for travel expense form.
Our requirement is, instead of opening the transaction, the PDF should open directly as soon as the approver clicks the link.
Please help.
Regards,
PranitaDear Pranita
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
In relation to the scenario that you have described you mentioned the following:
You have customized the travel expense workflow that is WS20000040.
When the requestor raises a travel expense request it goes to the manager for approval in his UWL.
Your requirement is, instead of opening the transaction, the PDF should open directly as soon as the approver clicks the link.
Ok firstly a point to highlight here is have you attempted to reproduce this issue in more than one browser type? Also is compability mode currently enabled on the web browser platform that you are utlizing.
Ok in terms of background functionality and the underlying operations of this scenario the predefined actions which occurs once a workitem is clicked in the UWL depends on XML configuration or via the SWFVISU transaction. By default, the item type configuration for the corresponding work items is set to launch the expense report form.
If you analyze the UWL configuration file and the travel expense XML e.g. com.sap.pct.erp.ESS/MSS - from UWL administration page, you should be presented with the following:
** SAMPLE **
WS20000040
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS20000131.ECCCLNT100" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.view.TripApprovalView" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.action.DisplayExpenseForm" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="ECTCLNT140" externalType="TS20000131" connector="WebFlowConnector"/> <CustomAttributes>
You should be able to set the predefined open action here.
Also there are two key points to remember when you are working with XML files.
XML files and the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Therefore once you make a change in the UWL XML the file needs to be reuploaded with a new priority of high in order for changes to come into effect and the UWL Cache needs to be cleared.
XML files should be backed up and copied so changes can be reverted easily if required.
Kindly update me as per your findings.
Kind Regards & All The Best

Travel Expense Form -- How to identify which form it is using
Hello,
In PR05(Travel Expense Manager), there is a simulate button which will generate standard expense form with expense details.
I ran into scenario where one user group expenseform is little different from another group employees expense form. i am guessing that user group form is customized. how to identify what is behind scene form which is used.
ThanksThanks for your response. It seems I identified that it is using ABAP LIST forms.
I confirming that position 24 for other settlement under TRAVEL EXPENSES CONTROL (EXPERT VIEW )
Now we have issue identifying which underlying ABAP LIST Form used.
If any body has any information on this how to identify, please provide information. -
Travel Schema is Not Appearing in ABAP WebDynp Travel Expense Form
Hi Experts,
We are using FIN_TRAVEL_1 business function for travel management in EHP2.
We are implementing ESS/MSS services for Travel management and corresponding workflows are working perfect.
Problem is:
Travel Req. and its Approval are working perfect but when we create Travel Expenses for the corresponding Approved
Req. - Travel Schema is Not Appearing in the ABAP webdynpro screen in ESS.
We have already activated integration of Travel Requets with Expenses in the customizing and changed the corresponding
settings in the schema also.
ABAP WebDyn in ESS is working perfect if we direct create a Stand alone Travel Expense Report. We are using only Travel Req.
and Expenses with Miles/KM cumulation. We are Not going for Travel Planning.
Pls. let me know - If any Settings are missings in "Expert View" of Travel Control or any Customizing setting is missing.
Do we have to apply some note or any BADI is there ??
Very Thanks in Advance...
Kind Regards,
EdwinHi there
You need to make sure that you have a trip schema that does not allow overlapping when creating expense report from approved travel request, also check the bindings for your trip schema.
I think I may have addressed this in an OSS to you earlier but also check you are using correct resource for WDABAP as delivered with 1076144
I think is why it previously worked in your java landscape if you had the trip schemas with bindings defined in the homepage framework -
