ESS Travel document attachments

Dear Forumites,
We are planning to Implement Travel application in ESS,
client's requirement is to upload scanned document in travel expense and report application which should be available
for the manager to approve\Reject.
As per my understanding, we can upload documents in two ways.
1) directly attach scanned copy which would be available in content server and through POWL Approver can approv
2) save documents in DMS and attach links in the application.
Can anyone give more clarity on this please?
Regards

Yes we already allow scanned receipts or Credit card clearing or use KPRO
refer note 530792
Starting Enhancement Package 2 for ABAP WebDynpro, the functionality "add attachment" has been added in ESS for Travel Management
Generic Object Service. Please the SAP Note 904711 and 530792 for further information.
You can also use OPEN TEXT as a vendor for a repository!
Document types for attachments to a trip are shown due to the use
of BUS2089. Document types as archived business documents are shown
due to the use of TRAVEL. So you must customize this accordingy.
Attachments   > BUS2089, Business documents   > TRAVEL.
Dependency on the TRVPA feature: when OAA is 0, you will only see
attachments to a trip (BUS2089), if it is 1, you will see both
attachments to a trip and also stored business documents (TRAVEL).

  • Can't send document attachments from Mail to iPhone

    ...well I can but not very well.... When using Gmail IMAP to sync everything, document attachments sent from Mac Mail to iPhone mail arrive as a bit of mess.. i.e. not as attachments but as text within the email itself, plus lots of garbled numbers and letters. Strange because if I send the same message from the iPhone back to itself or from webmail-Gmail it works fine. Its also just fine with photos and Pdf's. Help!

    No, sorry. false alarm.
    I just received a message, sent by Apple Mail 2.1.2 from OS 10.4.11, through POP, to an email-forwarding address, to my imap-gmail, and received from there (by IMAP) with Mail 2.1.2, too.
    Details of what got garbled below, just to say that sending the email not to the forwarding address but directly to [email protected] did not help either.
    the email was constructed like so:
    - some text, readable.
    - an attached PDF, space characters in name. this entire pdf was just printed in the email, meaning the postscript code and what have you.
    - some more text, that was still readable
    - an attached image that was probably pasted into the email, the name was "pastedGraphic.png". The image survived.
    - text, readable.
    - another PDF, raw contents printed into email body.
    - a zip file, spaces in name, made with the built-in archive maker of Tiger. Also here, the entire 'source code' of the zip is printed in the body copy.
    - some final bits of text. readable.
    On another computer, this email was not routed through a gmail account and was received by POP. not a single problem there. In fact, not ever.
    This is not very cool

  • Can you save R/3 documents (attachments to sales orders) in KM?

    We have R/3 version 4.6c and KM version 2004.  We would like to have R/3 Sales Order document attachments that are currently stored in the Knowledge Provider - Document Management System to be stored in a NetWeaver 2004 KM Repository.  Has anyone done this? or know how to configure this?

    Tracy, I am not sure if you can store the document attachments in KM but using the KM DMS Connector you can access them from portal KM.

  • 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.

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

  • ESS Travel Assistant (WD ABAP): My Employees not consistent for users

    Hi there,
    I've seen a couple threads with the same issue on here - but, no resolution is posted...  We are trying to use the My Employees service in ESS Travel (travel assistant functions).  It appears there are two options for defining the list of employees that the travel assistant can use: 1.) User can build their own list (which is what I can do with my own user ID) and 2.) the list is predefined based on config settings.   I have three other user IDs that do not have the option to maintain their own list.  My Id has the Add/Remove Employee buttons.  The other IDs only have a u2018Personalizationu2019 button.  When this is selected, I can add employees, but it never adds them to the employee list.  We have not done any configuration to determine the list, so I am not sure why there are differences by user!
    This does not appear to be a Security issue.  I added SAP_ALL to the troublesome user IDs and they still did not have the Add/Remove buttons.   Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Stumped...
    Thanks,
    Karen G.

  • ESS: Travel: Cross Company

    Hi All,
    We have one scenario in (ESS) Travel Management.
    While raising travel request, employee is having the option of selecting Cost Assignment
    where in employee selects WBS Element and Cost Center.
    Here in we have two company codes
    1. 1000
    2.   999
    Now employee belonging to company code 1000 should have option to select WBS of company code 999.
    Currently system is throwing error
    The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 999, not 1000     
    Now if we change this error message to warning message it will impact on all other
    applications running in R/3.
    This requirement is only limited to Travel Management.
    This application uses following webdynpro application,
    FITV_VC_COST_ASSIGNMENT
    Please provide the appropriate solution either technical or functional.

    Hi
    Go to Transaction PA30 employee master data, infotype 17 travel previleges and select the check box "change permitted in trip"  under company code changes tab it will work.

  • ESS: Travel Management Cross Company Cost Assignment

    This application uses following webdynpro application,
    FITV_VC_COST_ASSIGNMENT
    Please provide the appropriate solution either technical or functional.

    System will follow the strict rules while posting transactions to cost objects by the employees.
    The user is authorized to post only in 1000 but not in 999. so he can't post to 999.
    People with authorization to post to 999 can do it.
    But the main thing is, Cost centers are belongs to only one company code so U can't post this transaction to 999. 
    The transaction which u r trying is seems to be cross company code transaction.  Cost objects should relate to the company code where U r posting transaction otherwise u cont post it.
    IF possible provide more details.....

  • FAST JDBC Connector with documents/attachments

    Hi, we are using FAST database connector for crawling/indexing a Oracle database, from the docs we didn't find sample of crawling documents stored in Oracle. We created a Python script to do that but the problem is, only one document can be crawled/indexed
    to FAST, and we are using DATA property to store.
    I'd like to know is how to crawl documents/attachments in JDBC connector by leveraging document processor and how we map to FAST managed properties?
    Thank you.

    Hi JOSHUA,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use FAST JDBC connector for crawling/indexing documents/attachments stored in an Oracle database.
    You can use the following string to connect to the Oracle database:
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@<YourServerHere>:1521:<YourDataBaseNameHere>
    Where:
     •<YourServerHere> is the Oracle server host name
     •<YourDatabaseNameHere> is the name of the source database that you are connecting to
    More information, please refer to the link below:

    Here are some articles for you to take a look at:

  • ESS Travel Services

    Hi,
    We are using ESS Travel Management and ECC 6.0
    We have a requirement in ESS travel where the client wanted the preferred time to be u201CMandatoryu201D. As required we have made the field also u201CMandatoryu201D, but the problem is even after making it the system is allowing to proceed further without entering the time as it shows 00:00.00 which is standard SAP.  But 00:00.00 indicates as 12.00 am and the system is not stopping the employee eventhough if they donu2019t enter any preferred time.
    Now the client wants to make the field as u201Cblanku201D & u201CMandatoryu201D, so that the employee has to enter the time in the services.
    Please suggest how to go about this.
    Regards,
    S.Srikanth

    Dear Srikanth,
    Kindly check the below config
    IMG > FA > Travel Management > ESS > Interface Config for WD Interface in Travel Management > Schema and Single Field Control for Web Dynpro >
    Enter your variant, go to schema PL, Web Interface (Travel Request Only), General Trip Data , End Time of Trip Segment.
    select alternative display tree, select field is visible, field is ready for input and entry in field is required.'
    Trust this helps.
