ESS Travel expenses

Dear Guru's
Our customer is looking for a solution for travel expenses based on the express expense sheet. However they want to skip the first screen where trip specifications are described and go directly towards the expense screen.
SAP technicaly a trip however is needed based on the standard SAP scenario. Is it easily possible to enhance the webdynpro so that the first screen will be skipped?
Kind regards.

Hi,
Just one additional question based on your answer. Is it correct that we possibly can make sure that the whole first screen from the express expense sheet will be skipped using FITVFELD_WEB?
And technically, don't we need the tripnumber to ensure that the apllication still works correct. My first impression is that we need to modifcate.
Kind regards,

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.

Error in ESS - Travel Expenses & Travel Plan -- Urgent

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

Error with the standard ESS, Travel & Expenses

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

Hi Ravi,
The problem may be due to versions mismatch or you may need to apply SAP notes,

Credit Card Graphic (Logo) not displaying in ESS Travel Expense

We installed enhancement package 3 and activated/switched on the business function FIN_TRAVEL_1 to move to the new Webdynpro for Abap portal screens.
Under the Create Expense option, you can view imported credit card transactions.   Within the table, there is a column for "Credit Card Company".   It currently has the credit card name but a graphic missing icon.   I found the icons under the Webdynpro component FITV_MIME in SE80. All of the FI-TV configuration seems to be in place so my assumption it is something on the technical (like service activation via SICF) or Webdynpro side that is causing the issue.
Travel is the first application that we are bringing live on the SAP Portal so it very well could be something basic relative to our portal installation.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for all responses.

ESS Travel Expense - Multiple Claims

Hi all,
We are upgrading to ESS on EP7 and found that we are not able to create multiple claims in a single day. The system throws an error message Trip Data for the period already exists (message no 146, class 56)
I am not able to find any customization and also tried to comment out the message from Standard SAP programs. But it still doesnt seem to work.
Any idea how to bypass this message.

ESS Travel Expense Errors

Hello,
We have implemented ESS on EP 6 with a back end of ECC5.0.
We have a handful of users that simply cannot access any of the ESS applications based on their specific machines that they log into.
The question is, has anyone run across this issue and know of any desktop/browser requirements as they relate to accessing ESS functions.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rob C.

Attach Receipts to ESS Travel & Expense

We need to attach scanned supporting trip documentation to a travel reimbursement request. I'm at a loss where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for documentation that would help us navigate the configuration.
We're running EP60, BP 60.2 w/SAP_ESS SP14 if it's relevant.

Travel & expenses: Remove User settings option

Hi,
we have implemented Travel & Expense module in Portal using ABAP web dynpro. We are at EP 7.0 EHp2.
Navigation : ESS -> Travel & expenses -> My Trips and Expenses
Here If the User perform Right Click option then he get the option for : " User settings" and if he choose User settings then he further get the option to select the column / tab's to hide or unhide.
So we want to disable the right click option for the user OR at least remove the option of User Settings from User.

Hi Vishal,
as far as I know, the right click cannot be disabled. I have two suggestions:
1. Modify the WebDynpro Application and add the Parameter WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION = X.
2. Alternatively (this is what we did) you can call the application WD_GLOBAL_SETTING in SE80 and globally disable all user personalization for all applications. This avoids endusers from calling helpdesk because "fields are gone" etc. pretty well...

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.

Travel & Expenses Managers are receiving tasks for approval even when Saved

Hi All,
I am assigned some ESS Travel & Expenses application issues. One issue is
Usually When the Employee tries to Create a Travel Request and click on "Save and Send" a mail is triggered and reqest will go to manager for Approval.
But in our case, even when the Employees just Save the request, the request is going to Manager Approval with Email notification,
I never worked on ESS Applications, and these issues are assigned to me.
Could some one tell me where should we do the necessary changes (Configurations) to fix this issue.
Regards,
Satish

Hi,
pls check event binding in TA SWETYPV, BO BUS2089. So there will be "request created" or "requested" and other events available. If both are active, WF will start in both events. Also a "changed" or "request changed" event can trigger new WF without making a difference if it is "save" or "save and send". So pls check event binding first, and maybe make an event trace in your system to see which events are effectively called by the actions performed. Then choose the corresponding one and enable WF only for that event
regards, Michael

Travel Expense Tax code

hi Gurus
Is it possible to configure the system such that it allows users to enter actual Tax code amount based on receipt in ESS TRavel Expense?
Edited by: Duxton SG on Feb 23, 2010 12:06 AM

This thread is marked as answered; but I didn't see the solution presented in a response.
We have the same requirement. Users want to be able to enter a VAT amount rather than select from a configured drop-down list.
How did you resolve your issue?

Create Travel Expense Report link missing in ESS

Hello Gurus,
I am unable to see the Create Travel Expense Report link in the ESS Travel & Management tab. I have modified SPRO and details are as below:
1) In SPRO, I have copied the standard Resource (EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05) and Service (EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSEREPORT05) as new Resource (Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05) and Service (Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSEREPORT05).
2) I have changed the URL Parameter in Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05.
3) Later I have deleted the new "Z" Resource and Service that I have created in the SPRO, so that I wanted to default back to the standard.
After deleting the "Z" Resource and Service in SPRO, I am not able to see the "Create Travel Expense Report" link from the Travel and Expenses area page in portal. Though I was able to execute the iView directly from the Portal PCD.
Did any one got similar kind of problem ????
Could you please reply with your suggestion or advise how you have fixed this problem.
Thanks for any help.
Ram.

Hi Bharathwaj,
Thanks for your helpful answer.
I have checked the Area Page EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_ERP2005, but I don't see any entry for services.
It has Area Link Text, Picture Resource, Area Link Type and Link Resource only....
Can you suggest if I have to see any other setting ??
Thanks for your help.
Ram.
