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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Adding fields to Travel Services in Travel Request

Hi guys,
In our system, Travel Planning is disabled, because we don't want online booking. Travel services button is active in Travel Request, because we do want some basic information for each service.
I would like to know what's the best approach to store data of custom fields for each travel service.
Right now, I know how to add fields in the main view, using PTK99 structure, user exit, and enhancing the WDA application thanks to Lukas Weigelt.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Raúl

Hi Raúl,
for the Enhancement of the Service Requests you won't be able to use PTK99 etc, because the Service Requests are part of the Travel Planning module (even if you don't explicitly use FI-TV-PL). I.e. the data is not stored in the PCL1-TE Cluster but in transparent tables instead.
For the WDA-Part, you'll have to enhance WDYN FITE_VC_SERVICE_REQUEST.
--> View V_SERVICES for the Layout, the fields of the table are within a table popin, so you kind of have to develop blindly
--> The data transition and plausibility handling takes place in comp conf methods ON_SHOW, SERVICE_RFC_CHECK, SUPPLY_PREFERENCE and SUPPLY_SERVICE_DATA
For the DDIC-Part, you'll have to enhance the structure of the standard table FTPT_REQUEST, this is where the data is stored.
If you already used my approach for FITE_VC_GENERAL_DATA you'll get behind the details via Debugging
Cheers, Lukas

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.

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

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

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.....
