Mobile travel expense offline

Hi ,
Can any please let me know how the Mobile expense offline application(MTR) will open when the user is offline. Is this MTR application works like standalone application  when the user is offline. Please let me know the details and do the needful.
regards,
krishna

Hi,
Mobile Time and Travel (MTT)  have the expenses functionality that you are looking for, it works like any other Mobile application which needs Mobile Infrastructure to be able to run.
All the Mobile applications based in Mobile Infrastructure like :
xApp Mobile Asset Management
xApp Mobile Asset Management for Utilities (xMAM Utilities)
xApp Mobile Time and Travel (xMTT)
xApp Mobile Sales for Handheld (xMSA HH)
Are meant to be run offline where the user does not have network connection and trough synchronization once you get a wirless connection or wired  it will send the data (saved offline) to the Mobile infrastructure server which in his turn will send it to the appropriate backend system.
Depending on your architecture and your company needs your Mobile infrastructure server can be runing as en example in ECC 6.0  dual stack ABAP+ Java (if it has been configured) or as standalone server that connects to an ECC system.

  • Travel expenses offline with mobile infrastructure

    Hi all,
    We have Travel expenses offline functionality (MTR1.6) with the following configuration:
    - R/3 back-end 4.6C
    - WebAS 6.40 SP17
    - MI client SP 17
    I managed to install MI client and to synchronise with WebAs and R/3 on several laptops where the user is the administrator.
    On some PC where the user is not the administrator, I also managed to install MI client and to synchronise with back-end. But in this case, on the home page of MI client, I have 2 web links :
    - TE_BASICS (error message when clicking on it)
    - Travel expenses (opening of MTR application as expected)
    As you know, I expect to have only one link for travel expenses.
    Do you know why there are 2 links on MI client home page? And how to fix it? 
    Thanks for your help,
    Sébastien

    Hi Ak,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Indeed, I had to reload TE_BASICS into the webconsole between several laptop installations and I forgot to check the value for this box.
    Now, after I uncheck it the link doesn't appear anymore.
    Best regards,
    Sébastien

  • Offline approval for travel expenses

    Hi all,
    Is it possible for us to do offline approval for travel expenses by using outlook or mobile devices without logging on to the travel management portal? How is it done? Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    If Employee level sent to the next approver here you can do the offline process & again the 1st approver has to approve it with necessary things. till then your WF should be in waiting process.

  • Offline Travel & Expense with ECC 6.0

    Until we implement permanent solution for Travel & Expense, we currently have Offline Travel & Expense (PRWW) that we would like to use with ECC 6.0. We are in the process of upgrading to ECC 6.0 in about 2 weeks. We have got Offline Travel & Expense working but the only issue is running RFCcomm as a service in windows. We are getting errors running RFCcomm as an service.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for running RFCcomm on windows server ?

  • SUP Travel Expense Approval login issue

    Hi Guys,
    We have configured Sybase Unwired Platform 2.1 and SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 to use SAP Travel Expense Report application on iOS platform. SAP have upgraded their application to version 1.2.10. Now we have not changed any configuration as we were using lower version earlier and it was working fine. Now after re-registering the Application Connections in SCC , the login is not working for some of the user. Rest of the user are using the app as they were using it earlier.
    Some of the users are getting "Error occurred during user activation" error in their mobile devices (Screen Shot attached). My doubt is as there not so much help from SCC logs and there is no error logs in Gateway server, how can I get the root cause of the issue? Please tolerate little knowledge in SUP as I am new to this technology . You can revert if you need more information from me, I shall happy to provide those as per my  knowledge.
    Thanks,
    Sukalyan

    Hello Karthik,
    We are also about to implement Travel and Expense and want to know how to set it up on the portal...what is the R/3 configuration required....and what R/3 transaction/BAPI does these Travel and Expense ESS services call...?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

  • Adobe Interactive Forms - for Travel Expense Booking

    Hi:
    We are implementing Adobe Interactive Forms for Travel Expense Booking integrated with Portal (where user would download the form from portal locally to work offline and then upload it later when connected).
    For the form to function properly, our consultants has asked to make following changes in the Adobe Reader settings on user machine:
    1. Under Edit -> Preferences -> Internet -> Check "Display PDF in browser"
    2. Under Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript -> Check "Enable Acrobat JavaScript"
    3. Under Edit -> Prefenences -> Security (enhanced) -> Uncheck "Enable Enhanced Security"
    All the above three changes are opposite to our current settings. And our IT group is seeing a major secutity threat to company network on making the above changes.
    I wanted to check how other companies with Adobe implementation are handling the above changes? Is there any work around to these changes?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rahul

    you have to get really creative when trying to dynamically control the form without javascript / formcalc.
    One of my little secrets (you owe me big points here) is that I prepare my output in a series of tables when possible.
    For instance, in SAP i'll fill an internal table with
    Customer | Sales Order Number
    12345      |  80002038
    Date         | 09/15/2011
    Special Instructions | Deliver around back
    something like this... then I drop this table where I need it.  However, if there are no special instructions, I simply do not fill that info out in my internal table. This has the effect of "hiding" the field.

  • Travel Expense settlement

    We are using ESS only for Travel Request and Travel Expenses. I have the following queries:
    1. Can we enter non-travel related expenses also in TRAVEL MANAGEMENT module for e.g. Petrol, mobile (company provided) bill etc.
    2. Without using PR05 tcode in R3, is there a way to settle trips (i.e. Approval status = Settled) expenses in ESS? Because after my expense report workflow gets over the final status shows as:  Approval status = Trip Approved.

    Hi
    You can enter the expense types such as petrol or mobile.
    With reference to the settlement, for any updation you have two status. If you see for Trip approved itself, you will have one more financial status as to be settled, once it is settled the status will move to Trip approved/Settled. Once FI posting run is created the status will be Trip Approved/Transferred to FI

    I am implementing MTR and as of now I am able to successfully sync the data to the client. Now when I try creating a trip in the client (offline) the following error occurs
    At the travel expense create process "Enter Genera Data" page, there is an input field for mileage, the unit for this is shown as "km" and if I try giving some value in it, it throws the following java exception.

  • Problem with the Travel Expenses PDF Form

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a strange issue in our production system that the Travel Expenses PDF form is coming as a blank pop up when users raise a Travel Expenses request or try to see the form in 'My trips and Expenses'.
    The strange thing is that it is happning for only 3 users in Production system only.We have confirmed that it is not a Desktop issue. We did not come across this earlier while 3500 users are using it for 9 months now.
    The same problem is not repeated in Dev, Qua or even in Production for any other user.
    The SAP Security team has also confirmed that all relevent authorisations have been given to effected users like other users for whom the same is working
    Kindly help me with the same if you have encountered the same problem or can suggest something that may rectify the problem.
    Help will be appreciated << Please do not offer points >>

    Hi Siddharth,
    Thanks for the reply.
    We have checked that it is not a Desktop issue.
    Also SAP Security team says that the effected users have been given the regular authorisations as given to other users using the same functionality.
    As i mentioned it is not a problem with ADS as the same functionality is working fine for 3500 users for 9 months.

  • Travel Expenses settlements against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Ord

    Hi Experts,
    I have one req. in Travel Expenses, i.e. need to settle travel expneses against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Order.
    Can you guide me how to do this req.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rajesh

    Hye mate,
    This is possible for sure what you need to do is to go at travel request . In travel Request there is an option of Enhanced Travel cost/ Alternative master cost center. if you click on it . you would find an option of cost assignmnet click on it
    there you would have option , like an excel sheet like fields of  the cost centre, wbs element, profit center, order number what eve is requred and save it.
    now the cot of trip would go that particulat cost center or der numbe or WBS rather then the cost center assigned at master data in ifototype 0027.

  • Search Help for Region in travel expense manager

    All,
    The travel expense manager has a field called Region in the "general trip data" section . This region is used to to determine the Per diems and Flat rates for meals and accomodation.
    This values can only be the values that exist in T7020 table. That is T7020 is a check table for this field. But there is no search help provided for this field in the transaction PR05. When I click on the search help (f4), i do not get any values. It is impossible for the user to know the codes for the region in contention. Like for Phoenix, the code is AZ/PH. There is no way the user will know these codes without the F4 search help. Any ideas if this is a configuration thing or any round about way to get over this issue?
    Thanks in advance

  • GL Account in Travel Expense infocube

    Please can someone help me.
    What is the infocube I can use to link it with the one of Travel Expense in order to get the GL Account?
    I need to obtain the GL Accounts for expenses that are affected.
    Thanks!!

    I'm sorry; I explained the request in a wrong way.  The real request is to get the employees on 5 specific  expense accounts having the balance by month and ytd.
    For example:
    For account xxxxxx, this employee spent this amount for January
                                              Balance
    Employee   GL Account     Jan    Feb .... YTD
    Is this possible?  Which cubes? Accounts Payable and HR?

  • Switching off the buffering of number range for Trips (travel expenses)?

    Hi,
    In Tcode SNRO object RP_REINR has a buffer of 10.
    If this is switched off, it could influence the performance.
    Has anyone had any experience in switching off the buffering of number range for Trips (travel expenses)?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Dear Linda,
    I recall switching off the buffer in one of my projects. We did not encounter any problems, since it was a rare activity. Therefore, I do not expect any performance issues on this matter. Anyway, I presume, one can always switch it back.
