Meals Per diem

Hi Experts,
I have below requirement
Traveling Time     Daily Allowance
Less than 4 hours     0%
4 to 8 hours     25%
8 to 12 hours     50%
More than 12 hours     100%
I have configured above, first defining Max rate (for 24 hours) then calculation guidelines, then i have scaled hours as per my requirement.
But Result is little bit difference in trip..
For Example:
Trip Start Date 01.07.2011 Time 20:00
Trip End Date   02.07.2011 Time 07:00
Means Trip Duration is about 10 Hours
System is calculating Per diem as per below..
01.07.11 01.07.11        20:00    24:00               0.00        1                            0.00
02.07.11 02.07.11        00:00    07:00           250.00        1                         250.00
Total Amounts for Meals in 250.00
But i think it shall be 500 because total hours is 8 to 12 hours     50%
Any Idea how to achieve above..

Got my Answer, So Closed..

Meals per diem error in Travel Expense Report

Hi All,
I am getting the below error while creating the Travel Expense report. Meals per diem is not getting calculated. Let me know if i missed any configuration here. Appreciate your help.

Hi,
As said by the error message you are missing entries in table T706V : Per diem for meals scaled by hours.
And here you are missing the entry for trop provision variant "ID" for the country "IN"
Please start SM30 on view V_T706V to enter meal allowance amounts per countries and per hours.

Following help would be helpful for you..

Define Per Diems for Meals/Time
In Travel Accounting you can do accounting of meals per diems for exact times.
The meals per diems/time are distinguished using the following control parameters:
trip country
trip region
enterprise-specific trip type
These three control parameters are active during accounting.
For every possible combination of the allowed entry values of the control parameters defined by you in the section Control parameters for trip costs, a meals per diem/time must be defined.
statutory trip type
trip activity type
statutory reimbursement group for meals/accommodations
enterprise-specific reimbursement group for meals/accommodations
For each trip provision variant, you can determine how these control parameters influence the determination of reimbursement rates for meals per diems.
If these control parameters are active, you have to define a meals per diem for each combination of all active control parameters.
day
The meals per diems/time can be scaled according to the total number of trip days. The valuation of the trip duration is carried out according to time, the entries are to be made correspondingly.
For first/last trip day the following is required:
number of days 1: time interval in which the meals per diem is reimbursed.
Example:
08.00 - 09.00 75.20 ATS
If a trip starts before 8.00 a.m. and ends after 09.00 a.m., a meals per diem of 75.20 ATS is reimbursed.
For entire trip days you require:
number of days 99: complete time interval from 00.00 hours to 24.00 hours.
For entire trip days with stopovers you require:
number of days 98: Point in time up to which per-diem amount is reimbursed.
 In general, an interval of <Zone
 minute is enough.
Example:
08.00 - 08.01 100.00 ATS for destination France
For a stay in France from 00.00 hours to 08.30 hours, a meals per diem /time of 100.00 ATS is reimbursed.
For a stay in Germany from 8:31 hours to 24.00 hours, you access the corresponding meals per diem/time for Germany.
Validity interval in minutes
The meals per diem/time are defined for a specific time in the system via the control parameters, a validity interval in minutes, via a validity period and the reimbursement amounts.
Note
If the reimbursement rates in a meals per diem/time are changed, you do not need to create a new meals per diem/time, but rather you can delimit the previously valid meals per diem/time in regard to time using a delimitation date. When you do this, a new identical meals per diem/time which is valid as of the entered date, is generated. For this new meals per diem/time, you need then only change the reimbursement amounts.
Requirements
You need to have defined the control parameters which you intend to use for modifying the meals per diem/time in the section Control parameters for trip costs.
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you set the end date of the validity period of a meals per diem/time to the date 31.12.9999, since the end date cannot be changed at a later stage.
In this way no restrictions are placed on delimiting.
Activities
To define a meals per diem/time, proceed as follows:
1. Choose the trip provision variant you require.
2. Assign control parameters according to your requirements.
Note that you cannot change the control parameters at a later date.
3. In the field Time from, enter the time that you wish to define as the start of the exact (to-the-minute) validity interval.
4. In the field Time to, enter the time which you wish to define as the end of the exact (to the-minute) validity interval.
5. Define a validity period via the fields Start and End.
Note that you cannot change the end date at a later stage.
6. In the field Currency, assign the required currency for the reimbursement amounts.
7. Enter the tax-free reimbursement amount in the field Tax-free amount.
8. Enter the enterprise-specific reimbursement amount in the field reimbursement amount.
9. Enter the reimbursement amount which you charge a customer in the field Amount for customers.
Note
At present, this amount is not evaluated by the standard programs.
To delimit a meals per diem/time, proceed as follows:
1. Select the required meals per diem/time in the overview screen.
2. Choose Goto -> Detail.
You are now in the detail screen.
3. Choose Edit -> Delimit validity.
4. Enter the new validity date in the field Valid from.
5. Press the function key Continue.
6. Check the tax-free reimbursement amount in the field Tax-free amount and change it if necessary.
7. Change the enterprise-specific reimbursement amount in the field Reimbursement amount if necessary.
8. If necessary, change the reimbursement amount in the field Amount for customers.
Note
At present, this amount is not evaluated by the standard programs.

Meals per diem calculations

hi friends,
We have a requirement in our project where in travel management we have to do calculations for the meals per diem .
For example in our case if an employee applies for travel from 01.07.2011 time 09:00:00 and end date is 02.07/2011 time is
09:30:00. According to standard it isconsidering 2 days but in our case it should be only 1 day because here we have a cushion period of 30 minutes after 24 hours. So if the time is 09:31:00 for the end date only then it should be considered as second day else should be considered as only 1 day. Can anyone help me with the solution. Is there any user exit ?
Thanks in advance

Meals Per Diems - Configuration of deduction

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement wherein we need to define the deduction for breakfast for meals per diem at different percentages based on hours.
Its like below:
Totals hours > 6 <= 8 hrs deduction is 20%
Totals hours > 8 <=12 h rs deduction is 15%
Totals hours > 12 <=24 hrs deduction is 10%
I have checked the details in Config and found that we can define only one percentage and not at the hours basis different percentages. Could you pls let me know if there is a way to define percentages in this way.
Early reply is appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I don't think there is houly basis per diem deduction available in staddered
however you can use work arond like split trip activites with consideration to deduction type and then configure each trip type deduction.
or use all three deuctions type for meals i.e breakfast, lunch, dinner deductions as 20%,15%,10% each dedcutions.
I hope it would help you to reach your solution.

HCM - PER DIEM CONFIG IN EXPENSE MANAGEMENT

Hiii
I have configured Expense Type as " Acco PEr Diem and Meals Per Diem and have updated the tables V_T706V and V_T706B2 with a limit of CAD 500 but when I am creating an Expense Entry for CAD 2000 or any other amount it is not showing me any Error that it is beyond the permissible limit. I have assigned this error message in the config. Please let me know I I have missed out on something. I have only done things from SPRO / config.

For Mileage you have to do the following configuration....
Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Trip Reimbursement amounts -> reimbursement Amounts travel costs -> Miles/KM cumulation
Define Miles/Km cumulation
Assign cumulation procedure for Vehicle types/classes
Define period parameters
Define periods
Define Flate rates for travel costs (table V_T706F)
Apart from that you have to maintain table V_T702N_A ....travel cost settlement with miles cumulation or without miles cumulation based on your requirement.

Per diem for multiple days trip - as per German law 2014

Dear all,
I'm working on the per diem as per German law 2014. For the multiple days trip, the meal per diem as 12 EUR will be paid for the first and the last day.
It's configured and tested fine in our system.. But then when I remove the check at "Accommodation", system will calculate 0 EUR for the first and the last day if the travel time less than 8 hour - seems that SAP considers it's not multiple day trip - SAP apply the rate of single day.
For example,
Start           10.07.2014     18:00
Return         12.07.2014     09:00
With Accommodation, the per diem for meals calculated as:
10.07.2014     12 EUR
11.07.2014     24 EUR
12.07.2014     12 EUR
Without Accommodation, the per diem for meal calculated as:
10.07.2014     0 EUR          (as travel time in this day less than 8 hours - from 18:00 to 24:00)
11.07.2014     24 EUR
12.07.2014     12 EUR          (as travel time in this day more than 8 hours - from 00:00 to 09:00)
1. -> So I understand that SAP use accommodation as proof for multiple day trip, and it's required to calculate the meal per diem for the first and last day. Is it correct?
2. Is there any solution for this issue? As normally company pay dirrectly the hotel cost, so the employees dont have to claim the accommodation - but if we dont check at the accommodation, the meal per diem not calculate correctly for first and last day.
Appreciate your answer
Best regards,
Andy

Hi Nina
I suspect this could be to do with how you have the hours and intervals defined (and are you starting this from a domestic schema first of all as if so then is the problem as the trip schema can only be domestic or international and not both when taking into consideration per diem calculation!) You must have the distinction that the trip is either domestic or international basically.
Also In the standard logic, a reimbursement interval has maximal 24 hours (neither a calendar day or a 24 hours
interval). If you maybe reach within 1 calendar day, 1 additional destination at 13:00 the interval is divided into 1 interval
from 00:00 - 13:00 and one from 13:00 - 24:00. So the reimbursement amounts for hours in view V_T706V are read 1 time with 13 hours and 1 time with 11 hours. So in sum T706V is read with 24 hours for this day. This is the same as if there would be no additional destination.
It also depends on what is the max/min rate you have defined to reach full per day per diem in each case too, you would need to define hour split to make a domestic trip work with additional destination so you have to maintain in T706V and T706H in a way that with in these 2 intervals, the same amount is calculated as if it would be 1 interval from 00:00 - 24:00.
Hope this helps

Complex Per Diems

Hi Sally Redmond & other Experts
Need expert guidance please.....
We have the below requirement for Three Unions with complex Meals & Accommodation Per Diem calculations.
Meals Per Diem ::
1) Full Day Meals = $50 (Two or More Meals)
2) Part Day Meal = $25 (One Meal)
Accommodation Per Diem ::
1) Accommodation per night= $35
 (When Employee stay overnight at family or friends place, instead of Lodging)
Special Per Diem : :
Meals + Accommodation = $75 (Taxable Lumpsum amount)
 (When Employee returns home on his own expenses, instead of staying overnight at Lodging)
 If an employee takes the $65, he is not entitled to lodging or the meal per diem for that day.
Not sure whether full/part of the requirement can be achieved through Configuration.
May I request any Guru/Expert share their experience on how to configure this requirement ?

example - Per diem for accommodation per day should be 100.
from my client requirement, for 4 days the employee should get full accommodation per diem and for the final day that is 5th day the employee should get only 50% of the accommodation per diem (100 * 50%).

If employee claims accommodation per Diem, he should not claim meals

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in Travel & Expense " If employee claims accommodation per Diem, he should not claim meals. I have checked all the configuration setting but unfortunately I didn't find. As I feel it should require a validation. If its required please guide me how to write a validation.
Kindly let me how to configure this. Is there any standard setting for this? if not kindly let me know how to configure this scenario.
Regards
Sree

Let me clear this up, whether I understood this correctly.
If employee clicks on the checkbox to claim per diem accomodation, he should not be able to click on the checkbox to claim meals anymore. Is it vice versa? I.e. if he clicks on meals he should not be able to claim accomodation anymore?
Please confirm I understoof the requirement correctly, then I can help you with some easy Enhancements.
Cheers, Lukas

Per diems for meals

Hello All,
I have a problem in accounting of expenses for meals (from table T706V and T706H).
There are no a standard trip provision variant for Russia, I've copied it from 99 international trip provision variant.
We have the next travel expense types:
     1. Individual receipts (tables T706B*)
     2. Accommodation per diems (table T706U)
     3. Per diems for meals (tables T706V and T706H)
The first two are calculated correctly. But the last one has zero reimbursement amount. In this case I have the next results in T-code PR05:
     Per Diems for Meals = 1000 RUB           u2013 thatu2019s true
     Sum of Receipts to be Reimbursed = -1000 RUB      u2013 thatu2019s false
     Reimbursement Amount = 0 RUB
I canu2019t understand wherefrom Sum of Receipts to be Reimbursed = -1000 RUB    is.
If I copy my trip provision variant from 22 trip provision variant (for Japan), everything is OK.
In that both cases (copied from 22 and 99 trip provision variant) there is the same customization in spro. But probably Iu2019ve missed something.
Please help.
Thanks,
lsv

Hi !
I think instead of 99 ,you should copy the provision varient 10- german(Generally used by all ) as all the standard will be copied and we can chaneg the molga settings in the same else we generally faced lots of missing config issues ( I have already faced this issue ).

FI - TV posting per Diems in travel to different G/L accounts in travel

Hallo everybody,
I have one question:
I need to post per Diems for Meals in Travel Management FI-TV and other flat rates {VERP, FAK, KAP} to different G/L accounts depending on the choice of travel expense admin (once to G/L account 512100 -Education, another time to 512 101 -Foreign trip). No fix rules.I ne Can anybody help me?
Thanx in advance

Have you considered defining Wage types for each of these expenses and assigning them to Symbolic expenses. The Symbolic expenses can then be assigned to GL Accounts in PRT3.
When the users create the expense, they will assign a Wage type to it and it should then determine the account...

Daily per diem handling

Hi friends,
My per diem requirements are as below:
Example scenario:
Travel from Singapore >Bangkok>Japan>Singapore
Employee travels from Singapore on 17.12.2009 and arrives in Bangkok on the same day.
Flies from Bangkok on 18.12.2009 and arrives in Japan on the same day.
Flies from Japan on 20.12.2009 and arrives in Singapore on the same day
Singapore is home country.
The per diem requirement is that each country travelled will have their own per diem value:
Bangkok= $60
Japan= $80
The total per diem claim is $60(17.12.2009) + $60(18.12.2009) + $80(19.12.2009) + $80(20.12.2009) = $280
On 18.12.2009, the per diem taken into account is the point of departure for multi destination scenarios.
Time of travel is not taken into account.
In Travel Management, I see that there are only 2 types of per diems, meals and accomodation. Is it possible to handle the above requirements with any of them? My requirement requires auto calculation of per diems by keying in the from and to dates. Any other proposed solutions are welcomed too.
Please help if possible. Thanks everyone.
Regards,
Eric

Eric
We had the same problem and sent a note to SAP. They replied the system is working as designed. If we wanted it to work this way we would need to put in a dev request for a future release.
I know that doesn't help. We had people in Europe that create a monthly report but put in for daily per diems but they don't travel daily. We had to have them put in expense reports for each day of travel.
We were also trying to use times as well as dates for the calculation.
Hope that helps.

TRAVEL MGMNT -Calculn of Per Diem allowance for trip with Additional Destns

Hello,
I am facing this issue. Please help me.
Details of Trip.
Duration: 2 days exact
Nature: Domestic.
Additonal Destinations: 2
Per diem allowance rate is 50 per day. So it should calculate 100(50 * 2 days). But it calculating 50*4 = 200.
4 line items i.e. calculating per diem for additional destination. I have checked the config but without success.
Pls help.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
The system tries to settle per diem allowance for each trip destination.You might have defined per deim allowance for 24 hrs. So it is calculating allowance for 4 days. To get allowance for 2 days, you have to define per deim allowance sclaed by hours.
To configure per deim allowance scaled by hours,
TM>Travel expenses>Trip reimbursement amounts>Reimbursement amounts for meals>Reimbursement amounts for meals/hours>perdeims for meals>Calculation guidelines:define meals per deim scaled by hours.

Travel Management Per Diems

Hello,
We are having some difficulties configuring a per diem rate for a one day trip.
The scenario is as follows:
Travel begins at or before 6am and ends at or after 9am - Breakfast can be claimed.
Travel begins at or after 4pm and ends at or after 7pm - Dinner can be claimed.
No lunch can be claimed on a trip of less than 24 hours.
We have set up the following for the one day trip in table V_T706H (Trip Provision: Per Diem for Meals Scaled by Time)
*Entry one:
Number of days = 1
Start time = 06:00
End time = 06:01
Tax Free Amount = $6.00
Reimbursement Amount = $6.00
*Entry two:
Number of days = 1
Start time = 17:00
End time = 17:01
Tax Free Amount = $18.00
Reimbursement Amount = $18.00
Our issue is, if the traveler inputs a start time of 6am and an end time of 8am, they are getting the per diem of $6.00, and they should not. The same goes for dinner, if we enter a start time of 16:01 (after 4:00) and a end time of 18:00 (6:00 pm) the traveler is getting the dinner per diem and should not. We have tried multiple other entries in table V_T706H, but have not found a combination that will work. How do we enter the trip end time in table V_T706H?
Regards,
Elaine

Hi Raghu Kumar,
First of all, if you have set warning message then system will not stop you and will give only warning message...
if you want to stop up to the max limit then you have to set the option Error message for exceeding maximum rate instead of warning message.
Secondly if even system is not giving you any warning message then check you influence control parameters (V_T702N_I)... (check it in detail)
Then again check your V_T706B2...
Also check the entries in travel expense sheet pr05, trip country and region shall also be entered in travel expense sheet...
Please let me if you still have problem...

Muhammad Umer
