ESS - Travel Services without GDS(Amadeus)

Hi guys,
Here we have the necessity of use this functionality (Travel Services) but we do not use GDS (Amadeus).
Someone has already faced it and how to handle to simulate the GDS?
Thanks,
Thiago Cavalcante

Hi,
I'm surprised with your answer "Learning SAP". The Travel Request functionnality exist since long time and from my point of view is part of the basic ECC6.
We have made an upgrade from ECC5 to ECC6 (no EHP) and I can see the link in ESS. It correspond to the service EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_REQUEST05.
Check you customizing of the Homepage Framework in Cross-Application Components > Homepage Framework.
You should assign the service EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_REQUEST05 to a subarea available.
Check also OSS note 808111.
Concerning roles in the portal, I can't help as I have currently an open problem with that
Hope this help.

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.
Best Regards,
Raj

Hi,

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.
You can read the below SAP PROVIDED Notes
SAP NOTES
FIN_TRAVEL_1: Business Function Travel Management (New)
Use
As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension Travel Management Extension, enhancement package 2 (EA-TRV 602), you can use the business function Travel Management. This business function encompasses the new and extended functions of the Travel Management (FI-TV) component described below.
New User Interface in SAP Enterprise Portal
The extended travel management applications in Employee Self-Service (ESS) of SAP Enterprise Portal are based on Web Dynpro ABAP technology. 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.

Error in ESS Travel Request iView

Dear All,
I am new to HR module of SAP. I have tried to access the ESS iveiw provided by the SAP in the portal. when i access the iveiws (webdynpro/Java) it gives error. can any one tell me how to resolve this error?
Also when i go through the sap help portal, i read that from ECC 6.0 package 2 they are going to support only ABAP/webdynpro and not JAVA/webdynpro (ESS). Is it correct?
when i try to query the flight availability through standard SAP travel managment, my system gives error as "Connection error with external reservation system". what could be the cause for this error? can any one help to get rid of this error?
with Regards,
Balachander

Hello Balachander,
1. if you could give us more infos about the error you receive, we might could help ypu
2. With Enhancemnet Package 2 (Ramp-Up until Dezember 2007?) the entire ESS Travelmanagement Services are available as Web Dynpro ABAP as well, although the Web Dynpro Java versions ars still there and can be used. You have to manually switch from Java to ABAP. As SAP has only enhanced the WD ABAP version, i would recommand to use those.
3. If you want to use the Travel Planning functionality you have to connect your SAP-System to a booking system like Amadeus, Galileo etc. This will generate additional costs tho. Check this link for more infos https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/tm-downloads
regards,
Markus

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.

Emmployee group wise travel service Category

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement. In Travel Service catogory in TP01 by defalut FlIGHT, HOTEL,RENTAL CAR, I recently added TRAIN also,
Do have the permissibility based upon "Employee Grouping for Travel Service Catogory. so that he/she can have the visibility to the Travel Service Catogory in TP01 according to their eligibility of modde of travel.
Is this possible?
With Reagrds,

Hello San Rao,
Inorder to have the full functionality of the Train service you need to have a GDS provider for this. For example in Germany we have the Deutsche Bahn otherwise train query will not work in your system.

HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges. What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges. What settings should use on my iPhone 5? I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free. I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey. I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges. Thanks for your help!

You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

IPhone 3G cannot connect to the Lotus Traveler service on LotusLive Notes

I have this answer from IBM regarding conection between my Iphone 3G and Lotus Live:
IPhone 3G and early iPod Touch devices cannot connect to the Lotus Traveler service on LotusLive Notes
This issue also applies to Lotus Traveler services where the authentication mechanism requires HTTP session cookies as part of its authentication scheme.
There is a known issue with Apple iPhone 3G and early iPod Touch models running iOS 4 that prevent it from using HTTP session cookies in the Exchange ActiveSync account. If you are using one of these devices that has been upgraded to iOS 4, and you are trying to connect to a Lotus Traveler service that requires HTTP session cookies, such as LotusLive Notes, then the device will fail to connect to the service. After manually configuring the account or installing a profile, when you open the Inbox or other folder in the mail application, you will see the generic error "Cannot Get Mail : The connection to the server failed.".
Further examination of network traces would show that the Apple device is making its request without the requested session cookie and instead there is a header in the data named X-Bad-iPhone-No-Cookie.
The IBM workaround is:
Contact Apple support for a profile that can be installed to enable HTTP session cookies for the Exchange ActiveSync account....
Does somebody had this issue and how it was solved?

Try the following steps:
Plug into iTunes, and click "check for updates." There may be a new network settings file to update (separate from the firmware updates).
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Restore as "new iPhone".
Replace the SIM (from AT&T)
Make appt. with Apple store "Genius Bar."

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.

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary. I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

Hi Pawan,
You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.
Follow MSDN-

I hope this helps.

IDOC - PO Creation using a service without master record

I can not find the field to populate the cost center when i create a PO using a service without master data (buy using Material Group) via transaction WE19.
The accounting information is present on "E1BPMEPOACCOUNT" segment, but the cost center and G/L Account in this segment were not recognized by IDOC because this segment is used to populate Account Assignment tab on Item Detail Level and my problem appear one step before when after I populate the service tab at Item Detail Level and press .
In few words I didn´t find the correct field to populate the cost center on Basic type "PORDCR101".
I tried populate the field COSTCENTER on the segment "E1BPMEPOACCOUNT" but didn´t work.
Maybe is there another basic type to use in this specific case?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
In the inbound side create a new entry in WE57 tcode.. with the functio mdoule as "IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS", basic type "ORDERS05", extn< specify the extn u created at outbound side>, message type "ORDERS". Now see if it is working.
Regards,
Nagaraj
