ESS Travel Management - Display Expense report

Hi,
I'm working on the ESS for ERP 6 Ehp3 where the travel management iViews are Web Dynpro ABAP based. When I display the expense report of the expense created in "Create Expense Report" iView, it launches a new window that loads the expense report in PDF form. However inside the new window, only the pdf toolbars are visible because the container's height is very less.
There is an SAP note number 1140369 for Web Dynpro Java based travel management iView for same problem but not for the Web Dynpro ABAP based iView.
Has anyone fixed this before?
regards,
Manish

Hi,
It's not about the iView height. Only the new window that open from the "Create expense report" iView and loads an adobe pdf form. Only the pdf form's toolbars are visible and nothing else.
regards,
Manish

ESS Travel Management - Create Expense report error

Hi,
I am getting below error when "creating expense report" from the portal iView. We are implementing ONLY Travel Expenses subcomponent in the SAP Travel Management, and NOT implementing Travel Requests and Travel Planning.
Please help me if I miss any needed IMG configuration & Web Dynpro integration configuration for this scenario. Or any other setting for ESS implementation.
Error message in the iView:

Thanks in advance for any help. Any help to resolve this issue is highly appreciated.
NVR.

I am having the same issue but with table TA20C. Like you, we are not using Travel Requests or Travel Planning. I posted a note on ASUG and got a response back from someone else with the same issue. They opened an OSS note and received the following:
"the webdynpro travel services require a minimal consistent
travel planning customizing - if you only use the expenses part.
The consistency check of the customizing is within 1 function module
for both parts planning and expenses. This is indeed not the case in
backend. There will be no change.
The arguments for the tables TA20C and TA20B are influences by the#
return value delivered back from feature TRVOF. So if you only have
entries with user group blank you must ensure that the feature
delivers back a blank user group."
Hope this helps.

PR05 access Travel Manager and Expense Report screen

Hi,
Can anyboy suggest how to use T Code PR05?
1. When I enter T Code PR05, first screen is for Travel Expense Manager. This screen is used by Manager to Approve or Reject Travel Expense Report. Then I have to click on create button to get into Travel Expense screen.
Can we get into Travel Expense screen in T Code PR05 directly instead of getting into Travel Manager screen?
If yes, please suggest what settings needs to be done?
2. Can we create Travel Request in T Code PR05?
3. Can we manage the Travel Manager screen and Travel Expense screen seperately by Security, such that, Traveller should access only Travel Expense screen. He shouldnot get into Travel Manager screen. Similarly, Manager should be able to access only Travel Manager screen but not Create Travel Expense Report screen.
Please suggest.

I'm not sure if I get your point but PR05 functions are build on authorizations.
So if the manager should only be able to approve than you can give only this authorizations to the manager. (transaction PFCG)
And for Approval from Manager you should set up a worfklow with a work item - so the manager should only have display rights for PR05.
(Or even better - just use WebDynpro POWL for the manager to approve without a workflow running in the back)
Yes you are able to create a travel request via PR05 - just enter future date.

ESS Travel Manager iview

Dear All,
The ESS Travel Manager iView (ITS based) is not getting diaplayed properly. Only a grey area is displayed in the content area. This is happening with some users only others are able to access the same but it takes time for them.
Any idea why this is happening
Regards,
Samir
Edited by: Samir on Jan 21, 2009 5:51 PM

If it's only occuring for a subset of users then it could well be browser settings.
If you're using a proxy server, then check there's a proxy expection stated for the domain of the ITS server.
Set-up a proxy exception for the portal (if proxy is used):
- In Internet Explorer, choose Tools -> Internet Options
- Choose the Connections tab -> LAN Settings
- In the Proxy server section, make sure u2018Bypass proxy server for local addressesu2019 is ticked and choose u2018Advancedu2026u2019
- Enter the site within the u2018Exceptionsu2019 section
- Click OK on remaining screens

ESS: Travel Management Cross Company Cost Assignment

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.

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.....

ESS Travel Management - Link ITEM TEXT with DESCRIPTION field

Hi guys!
We are using the travel management in ess.
If I create a trip and use for example the travel expense type flight or hotel and
write a description for each type, I want, that this description is display in the ITEM TEXT in tc FB03.
But the ITEM TEXT displayed always for example *Trip from 09.06.2008 to 12.06.2008
for each position. In the IMG I found nothing to modify this text field.
Where can I customize this field?
It is possible to link the ITEM TEXT with description field in ESS.
Thanks,
Dirk Sorgatz

Hello Dirk,
You can use the method ex_sgtxt of Badi TRIP_POST_FI to manipulate the transferred segment text!

How to add attachement in ESS travel management ?

hi,
we use travel management of ESS.
when the employee does an travel expense report when finished the traveling he
has expense receipts.
for most of them PAPER receipts do exist.
the users want to attach the paper receipts (which are scanned and stored as PDF-files)
to the travel expense report directly in the portal.
how can i handle this ?
reg, Martin

Hi Martin,
I believe they can only liquidate using PR05 you can ask them to include OR numbers and Tax status.
but if they really need to include the image of receipts they can use the SBWP attached file or customize.
You can also use adobe forms i think, which allows uploading of Image (PDF files to the system)..
thank you and regards;
Toti

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,

ESS - Travel management scenrio

Hi,
let me share with you the present scenario and our future need in brief on Travel Management .
We use Windows-outlook express for our day to day official communications and invariably all employees of our company use to check their outlook mail box regularly.Today the travel request is going to the ESS mail box of immediate superior( line manager) for approval . The line manager today has to open his ESS universal list in EP for approving the TR. But the line manager now wants that he needs to make an effort to open it after getting a message on his Outlook mail inbox instead of opening the mail box with doubt whether any request is pending for approval.
We need the foll. to be enabled on EP for Travel Management-
1. The moment Travel request is sent by an employee, an intimation has to flow to the outlook mail box of his immediate superior( line manager) saying a request of Mr........ is pending for approval.
2. The approver gets a link( click button option ) over the same mail message to open EP portal page and using his ESS user Id and pass word , he should be able to approve the travel request and expenses statement
Please let me know hw to proceed with this .
Regards
Nidhideep Bhandari

Hi,
The logic for this process is done in backend via workflow.
If you want to see the process in EP, you have to first configure UWL in portal. UWL is the centralized repository for all tasks, alerts and workflow work items. Assigning the alias's so as to retrieve tasks and alerts from your workflow inbox.
1. A system connection to ECC backend must exist.
2. Create UWL system :- System admin->system configuration--> universal worklist and workflow --> UWL administration --> New
3. create webflow connector (for tasks pane)
4. set the system alias as the one used used for configuring the ECC backend system.
5. set connector type as webflow connector.
6. create alert connector (for alert pane) ; you can see the connector values in drop down list.
7. set the system alias as the one used used for configuring the backend system
8. set connector type as alert connector.
9. register the system by clicking on register button.
10. You can now see the process in ESS - > your tasks , in tha tasks and alerts tab.
Hope, this answer may be of some help to you . I have mentioned only about the EP part.
Please reward points if you find this useful.
Thanks and regards,

ESS - Travel Management generate exception ID

Hi experts-
I'm havving some troubles using ESS por travel management. Every services I try to select generate the same error.
Exception: Send the ID exception to the portal adminsitrator.
ID excepción 10:49_19/03/11_0021_103447850
any one could help in solve this issue?

Hi,
just to make sure we don't missunderstand each others. I'm talking about the system alias, not the system ID.
Could you maybe post your System ID and the assigned System aliases here to clear this out?
Example --> System ID D66_100, Aliases: R3_Travel, HCM_System, etc
You should also try to run a connection check for the respective System ID in System Landscape Destination.

Dear Sandeep Ji and Other Gurus,
There is some problem with the limit of the travel expense types.
After creating a TRIP, whenever I am creating the receipt through PR05, system is Not Throwing the

Example: For Travel Expense type "Rail" limit has been set for 3000 / - and error message is set in configuration,
but in PR05 system is Not showing the error if I am putting the amount of 5000 /-.
I have checked all the configuration nodes and maintained infotype 0017 properly.
Kindly guide me How to achieve this ???
Very Thanks in advance.....

ESS Travel Management - send mail to the contact person

Hi guys,
in the IMG I created a contact person for the travel expenses.
If the employee create a trip and save it, the contact person should receive a mail automatically.
The other way the employee receive a mail, if the his trip is incomplete.
A status mail every week would be great.
Thanks,

ESS Travel - request transportation / accommodation

Help
I'm using business package ess of the portal.
I thought he represented the transaction trip with all its features.
However I am not finding place to come with information, transportation and accommodations in the functionality of creation of requests for travel.
I need this functionality in my project.
Do you have any suggestion.
Does bp ESS does not have this functionality (request transportation / accommodation)?
thank you.

it's does effect your current Portal ESS.
Only you are upgrading the Backend system to Eh P2 which means for travel you will get additional software component FIN_TRAVL_1 which needs to be activated after upgrading the ECC.

If you activate this business function, SAP Enterprise Portal no longer launches the Web Dynpro Java applications, but rather the new Web Dynpro ABAP applications. Users require new authorization profiles, which are defined in the new standard roles. The following Web Dynpro ABAP applications are available in ESS:
My Trips and Expenses
The Personal Object Worklist (POWL) for travelers lists the travel requests, travel plans, and expense reports (travel expenses) for each individual traveler. Travelers run applications from within the POWL; for example, to create a new travel plan using the data from a travel request, or to change the expense report. Travelers also can launch the applications for creating travel requests, travel plans, and expense reports, directly in ESS.
My Employees
The POWL for travel assistants lists the travel requests, travel plans, and expense reports for all employees assigned to the assistant. Travel assistants can perform tasks such as creating and changing travel plans for employees, and copying travel plans from other employees.
Create Travel Request
Create Travel Plan
Create Expense Report (Create Travel Expense Report)
My Travel Profile
Route Planning
Unlock Personnel Number
If certain conditions are given, you can implement the new Web Dynpro ABAP application for the following standard role in Manager Self-Service (MSS):
Approving Manager
To implement this new application in SAP Enterprise Portal, you need to provide an iView.
This application enables you to perform the approval process without SAP Business Workflow and Organizational Management. For more information, see the section that follows.
New User Interface: SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)
Users can run the following role-based Web Dynpro ABAP applications in the NWBC, independent of the new standard roles assigned to those users:
Traveler
The POWL and applications are the same as the My Trips and Expenses application in SAP Enterprise Portal. The POWL also provides access to the applications My Travel Profile, Route Planning, and Unlock Personnel Number.
Travel Assistant
The POWL and applications are the same as the My Employees application in SAP Enterprise Portal. The POWL also provides access to the applications My Travel Profile (for all employees), Route Planning, and Unlock Personnel Number (for all employees).
Approving Manager
The POWL for approving managers lists the travel data requiring approval for all employees assigned to the manager. Approving managers can approve or reject expenses, and send explanatory comments to the employees via e-mail.
The POWL enables approving managers to define substitutes for limited periods of time, and to act as a substitute for other approving managers.
Travel Policy Administrator
Users with this role can execute the following Customizing applications for managing travel policy:
Change Predefined Addresses
Define Maximum Rates and Default Values for Expense Types
Define Maximum Amounts for Hotel Nights
Define Hotel Catalog
Define Customer Programs
Define Agreements Between Travel Service Providers on Customer Programs
Integration of Travel Requests and Travel Planning
The areas of travel requests, travel planning and expense reports are fully integrated in the new Web Dynpro ABAP user interface. Users can copy the following travel data:
When creating travel plans, users can copy data from their travel requests. When users create a new travel plan, the system displays a list of open travel requests, from which users can copy data to the new travel plan.
When creating expense reports, users can copy data from their travel requests or travel plans. When users create a new expense report, the system displays a list of open travel requests and travel plans, from which users can copy data to the new expense report.
The POWL of each user shows the status of the user's trips and provides users with easy access to the subsequent actions that are possible (for example, once a travel request is approved, the user can choose Create Travel Plan).
Integration of Travel Services and Travel Preferences in Travel Requests
In travel requests, you can specify which travel services are required for the following modes of travel (but you cannot reserve or book them here):
Flight
Hotel
Car rental
Rail
Other travel services
For more information, see the section that follows.
The system displays the preferences of a traveler based on his or her travel profile. At a later date, you can transfer the data a travel request to a travel plan, and book your trip. Alternatively, you can transmit the travel request to a travel agency, which then books the trip for you.
Other Travel Services
In travel requests, you can now specify (but not reserve or book) other travel services. Other travel services include the following:
Ferry
Helicopter
Airport shuttle
In Customizing you determine which other travel services are displayed and which entries can be made by users. See Other Travel Services.
Copying of Travel Requests
Users can copy travel requests. Travel assistants can copy travel requests of one traveler for another traveler, and edit the new request. (Both travelers need to be on the employee list of the travel assistant.)
Saving of Drafts of User Entries
The Save Draft function allows users to temporarily save your entries in the applications (except in travel travel planning). The system saves the incomplete entries with the status Open.
Expense Types per Schema
To each schema, you can assign those expense types that need to be available in the respective schema. If you do not specify any expense types for a schema, then all expense types stored in the system apply to that schema. You can use this function to create a schema for miscellaneous receipts, which enables employees to enter receipts that are not directly related to a specific trip. These might be expenses for phone costs, office supplies, or promotional gifts on behalf of consultants or sales staff. See Restrict Travel Expense Types for Trip Schemas.
This function is also available in SAP GUI.
Advanced Passenger Information
In travel plans, you can enter additional passenger data for Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS). When a flight is booked, this data is transmitted to the airlines via a Global Distribution System (GDS). In Customizing, for each country key you can determine whether travelersare required to enter APIS data, and which data items are required. See Define Data for Advanced Passenger Information System.
This function is available only in the new Web Dynpro ABAP user interface.
Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
The following functions have been extended to ensure audit ability of statutory rules, such as those prescribed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act:
Credit Card Receipts in Expense Reports
You can define in Customizing that users cannot delete credit card receipts. See the field documentation under Set Up Feature TRVPA for Travel Expenses Parameters.
In expense reports, you can itemize your private expenses as separate receipts and allocate them to private expense types (for example, use of mini-bar). This documents the personal portion of expenses in the system.
Additional Receipt Information in Expense Reports
When entering expenses, you can specify internal and external participants of an entertainment event in the form of a table under additional receipt information. You can evaluate this information in reporting. In Customizing, for each trip provision variant and expense type, you can determine whether users are required to enter such participants. See Field Control for Additional Receipt Information.
These enhancements are also available in SAP GUI.
Use of Scanned Receipts and Adding of Attachments
If you use optical archives for Travel Management, in expense reports you can display receipts that are scanned into the system. When scanned receipts are allocated to an expense report, the system shows them in the POWLs for travelers, travel assistants, and approving managers.
Travelers can add attachments to their expense reports (for example, the agenda of a convention). This can be done when creating an expense report or in the POWL. Attachments are linked to the trip number and can be viewed by travel assistants and approving managers.
Enhancements in Flight Reservations
Flight reservations have the following new functions:
You can determine whether the Amadeus reservation system should apply Value Pricer or Master Pricer in fare-driven flight availability queries. You do this with the MASTERPRICER attribute in table TA20SWITCH. See Define Enterprise-Wide Control Parameters.
The system sorts best-price query results by price, but groups different flight combinations that have the same price. Within these groupings, you can select any combination of outbound and return flights.
If you have set up a direct connection to a flight reservation system such as TRAVELfusion (in addition to GDS), the system shows the available flights for both reservation systems in the fare-driven flight availability list.
Enhancements in Bookings at Deutsche Bahn (German Railway)
Train reservations using NVS (Amadeus) have the following new functions:
You can book tickets for multiple passengers. You can specify whether each individual passenger has a BahnCard. For international trips, you can enter the age of each passenger, for example, to receive a discount for people under the age of 26.
You can book tickets, reserve seats, or both.
When booking a trip, you can request a Bahn-Tix. Then, prior to departure you can pick up the train ticket at any DB ticket machine for intercity rail traffic. At the ticket machine you can identify yourself with your BahnCard, credit card, Eurocheque card, or the order number shown in the booking data.
Enhancements for Hotel Reservations
You can sort hotels according to different criteria such as price, star rating, or distance from the address.
Generic XI Interface to Rail Portals
As an alternative to using a global distribution system (GDS) to include rail connections in Travel Planning, you can instead use rail portals for this purpose. Using SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (XI), Travel Planning provides a generic interface for connections to rail portals. One such connection is the Deutsche Bahn Corporate Portal (also referred to as Bahn Internet Booking Engine = BIBE).
Generic XI Interface to Flight Reservation Systems
As an alternative to using a global distribution system (GDS) to include flights in Travel Planning, you can instead use flight reservation systems for this purpose. Using SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (XI), Travel Planning provides a generic interface for connections to flight reservation systems. This enables you to book flights with low-cost carriers (LCC) and Web fare deals on the Internet. Travel Planning displays the offers of flight reservation systems as part of the fare-driven flight availability list, together with offers from a GDS.
Enterprise Services
Report programs and BAdIs (Business Add-ins) are available for the new Enterprise Services for the following process components:
Expense and Reimbursement Management
Travel Management
Business Data Management
Personnel Administration
For more information, see HCM_SRV_CI_1: HCM, Enterprise Services 01 (New).
Effects on Existing Data
You can continue using existing travel data without restrictions.
Effects on Customizing
The following IMG activities are new:
If you want to implement the other travel services in the Travel Request component, perform the IMG activities under Travel Request.
To adjust the processes for the integration of rail portals, use the Business Add-in (BAdI) Adjust Processes for Integration of Rail Portals.
To configure APIS, perform the IMG activities Define Data for Advanced Passenger Information System and BAdI: Adjust Creation of APIS Elements.
To assign expense types to schemas, perform IMG activity Restrict Travel Expense Types for Trip Schemas.
The following IMG activities have been extended:
To define that users may not delete credit card receipts, perform IMG activity Set Up Feature TRVPA for Travel Expenses Parameters.
To extend the additional receipt information with the participants in entertainment, perform IMG activity Field Control for Additional Receipt Information.
To use Master Pricer, perform IMG activity Define Enterprise-Wide Control Parameters.

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,
