Overlapping trips (for Travel Request - TP04)

Hi, Gurus
Is there any way so that I can create 2 or more travel requests using the same period for the same employee? It would be a desirable requirement here in our company.
I know that through 'FITVFELD' transaction I can choose, for a given travel schema, if I want to allow overlapping trips (checkbox "Overlapping Trips Allowed"). But it works only for the expense reports ("TRIP" transaction) related to the schema selected. For travel request (TP04) I can't do that.
An example: with "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checked for schema A, I am able to create 2 or more expense reports (schema A) from 11/09/2010 to 11/16/2010. But if I try to create a new travel request (TP04) within this period, the system throws an error.
PS: As we know, unfortunately schema "PL" (Travel Planning) doesn't have "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checkbox... It manages some travel request parameters.
Thank you
Roberto

Hi robtaboaco ,
you can create two or more overlapping trip.
it will just give u warning if u have overlap trip. but you can still save it.

Services for Objcts in TRIP - BUS2089 - Travel Request Created

Hi there,
In the TRIP transantion, I have a workflow for a Travel Request (BUS2089-RequestCreated), but the button Services for Objects does not appear when I open it.
I have another workflow for the BUS2089-Created event that works fine, the button is there.
Anyone knows why the Services for Objects button is not appearing for Travel Request ? And how can I solve this?

Attatch travel request (TP04) in workflow

Hi friends,
Is there any way to attatch travel request(TP04) instead of expense report (PR05) in workflow when the request is forwarded for approval.
Please help..... Thanks!

Looping in SPD workflows is tricky. To create complex workflows you can break them down into a set of simpler workflows. For looping you will typically create "workflow A" that changes a field that then triggers "workflow B". You might create a typical approval
workflow that walks through the manager approval. It changes a field that then triggers the HR workflow(s).
The Workflow Designer is displayed when you edit or create a new workflow. In the left navigation click Workflows and then in the ribbon click one of the new workflow options (List or Reusable (Content Type)).

Workflow and POWL integration for Travel Request / Approval

HI,
We are on EHP7 and using POWL for different kind of Approvals.
POWL is working good for Leave Approval and we have used Workflow Task ID as : TS12300097 / TS12300116, and all leave request appearing in POWL for manager and approving them.
Now we have to use POWL for Travel Request / Travel Expense approval and need to know what Task IDs I should use to configure this under SPRO.
Few tabs / links created like Travel Req Approval / Expense Approval / Claim Approval in POWL and need to show entries in respective tabs.
Thanks

HI
Is it required to run FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_S / FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_M to display Travel entries in POWL screen.
2) Is it required to keep entries under "Assign Task IDs to POWL Types" in SPRO ???
ex : MANAGER_MSS_INBOX MSS_POWL_LEA_APPROVAL TS12300097
I don;t see any difference in terms of functionality even If i delete above entry, may i know the necessity of having those entries ?
Thanks

Edit HTML FORM for Travel Request in BADI

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to use the BADI FITP_REQUEST_HTML_FORM_BADIDEF to edit the HTML form for travel request.
I need to add and hide fields in tables, but I don't need to create new tables in the form.
The example is like the following:
CALL METHOD co_dd_document->add_table
    EXPORTING
      no_of_columns = 2
      width         = '350'
      border        = '0'
    IMPORTING
      table         = lo_estc_table.
set estc columns
CALL METHOD lo_estc_table->add_column
    EXPORTING
      width = '150'
    IMPORTING
      column = lo_col1.
MOVE text-t04 TO lv_text.
CALL METHOD lo_col1->add_text
    EXPORTING
      text = lv_text.
We don't need to create new tables, we need to add fields in an existing table of the form.
Somebody knows how can I do that?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Oscar.

You can use P_TRAVL authorisation check for the status field
Read here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/b6/cda0db49e911d189060000e8322f96/content.htm
Please kindly read the note 574467. We deliver the BADI
FITV_PERSNO_AUTH_CHK empty and we provide a documentation on how
this should work. In your case you should modify the BADI to check your
multiple structural profile but on how to do this depends on your
modification.

How to configure Webdynpro for ABAP Launch for Travel Request workflow UWL

Hello,
We are on SAP ECC 6 EHP4, SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP5, for portal BP1.41. When we are running travel request in this new Webdynpro for ABAP in UWL it will lead from an attachment to PR05 trx. I would think that it would gve another screen where the manager can check a travel request. Is the standard SAP solution leading to this trx. PR05? We have tried to customize the task 20000189 in SWFVISU but it doesn't give us any results.
I would appreciate if you can give me an advice whether SAP standard solution will lead to PR05 or is there any other options what we haven't discovered yet. Otherwise we have to start customize it.

HttpURLConnection returns overlaping responses for concurrent requests

Hi,
we are facing an issue in making HttpURLConnection requests. Our servlet has to make HttpURLConnection to another server (Both request and response body to be passed is xml, that is the contract with server which we are firing requests to). User can fire 2 concurrent requests one after another with out waiting for first request to be completed. When two requests are fired, two threads are executing the below block of code with no time. And the problem is first response is empty second response contains data for both responses
           URL url = new URL(urlStr);
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) (url.openConnection());
            c.setRequestMethod("POST");
            c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"");
            c.setDoOutput(true);
            out = new BufferedOutputStream(c.getOutputStream());
            out.write(requestData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
            out.close();
            String inputLine = null;
            StringBuffer sBuffer = new StringBuffer();
            in2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(c.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
            while ((inputLine = in2.readLine()) != null) {
                sBuffer.append(inputLine);
                sBuffer.append("\n");
            String responseXML = sBuffer.toString();and the above code is in separate static class. we tried using third party implementations for HttpURLConnection instead of sun implementation. NO LUCK.
Any help in resolving this issue would be of great help
Thanks,
JKChaitanya

JKChaitanya wrote:
"in2" is also local variable to the method, only "requestData" comes from servlet's doPost method, all other variables are local to the method in which HttpURLConnection code is availableIt seems to me that the implication is that the server you are chaining to is not thread safe and can only handle one request at a time. This means that you will have to process the requests sequentially. Two obvious approaches - use synchronisation or use a request queue. To test the hypothesis it would be very easy to use synchronisation on your servlet class object. Note - you cannot reliably synchronise on the servlet instance since your server may be configured to use more than one instance.

External Person (third party) for Travel Request & Expense

Hi experts,
We have situation where Company want to record travel expense for third party.
for example, we want to do a business trip that invite people from government/ civil servants.
all travel expense of civil servants will be accounted by our company.
but, they are not our employee.
is it possible to get some external person ID for third party so they can be treat as employee just for recording travel transaction??
Our company also want maintain employee group for third party.
how to achieve this?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
thanks for your reply,
but if we have to define new sub-groups then we have to maintain other basic data.
third party's travel will be just occasionally, and sometimes it could have different people.
then, don't we have to maintain job / org unit for external person too?
is there any simple way?
thanks.

404 Resource Not Found In UWL for Display Request in Travel Management

Hi Team,
Issue regarding Uwl in Travel Management.In Mss inbox when approver clicks on display form for travel request its throwing error like 404 resource not found.
i have check all uwl iview properties like list actions to be excluded and Xml code etc.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the discussion forums .
In relation to the scenario that you have described you mentioned that:
Once a user (via the MSS Inbox) clicks on the display form for travel request you are encountering a 404 resource not found error.
Ok so the first means of analysis is to ensure the UWL Destination Service Configuration is setup and maintained accordingly. Kindly review and consult the documentation below carefully.
SAP Note: 1133821 - UWL Destination Service configuration
After ensuring the destination(s) are setup accordingly and if the issue persists kindly restart the UWL service and clear the UWL cache to see if that resolves the issue.
In the destination configuration kindly ensure there are no discrepancies or misconfigurations.
Now have you navigated to your current connector setup and viewed the status columns to see if there are any exceptions appearing?
Lastly kindly check if the URL being called (at the request page) is correct.
Kindly update me as per your findings.
Kind Regards & All The Best

Start a workflow when a trip/travel request is created

Hi all ,
I wanted my workflows to start whenever a trip or travel request(Tcode: TRIP/PR05) is created .
Can anybody suggest me any settings to do it ???
Thanks ,
Sonu.

Hi Sonu,
Please let us know whether it is a standard workflow or customised one. Because both has different steps to follow.
If it is a standard then Implementation is quite easy. Broadly you have to configure event and do agent assignment in standard workflows.
I am not sure but I think Business Object related to travel management is BUS2035 and event is created.

Region Field Mandatory in TRIP in Travel Management

Dear Gurus,
I have able to make region field mandatory in PR05 . In our client site all permutation and combination has been done according to region field. But I am unable to bring Region field in TRIP or TP04 and also I want that field to be mandatory . Could you please guide how to bring Region field in TRIP or TP04 and how can I make that mandatory too.
Please suggest.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the backend functionality because the REGION field was a new functionality starting ERP2005 in Web Dynpro, and this field is only available in FITVFELD_WEB. The field was integrated with the "Country" field in Web Portal. The customising point for Travel Request was also added in Portal which as you see is not available in FITVFELD.
And when you create expenses for the request, the REGION field can be input manually, the value is maintained in Table T702O.
So as a standard solution so it is not possible without making a modification
I mentioned modifying the table PTRV_T706Z_FLDS but actually just reading it again I dont think this will work for TRIP in this manner.

Warning when the trip for the date already exist

hi friends
In the travel. When the trip is applied for a particular date when i again try to apply the trip for the same date it shows only waring but actually it should be a error. I want to make the warning into error. How to make that which BADI is called. Since am applying the trip from my portal. I want to display the warning into error to portal. Which BADI or Function Module is evolved .
Regards
vijay

Hello Vijay,
As long as there is no expense report linked to a travel request it is
possible to create a further request that overlaps with the first one.
This system behaviour is generally correct as during the planning
phase of a trip it should be possible to create overlapping trips.
Thus you only get a warning message that there are already trip dates
and not an error (as soon as an expense report has been created an error
message occurs if you try to create a new travel request that overlaps
the expense report).
This is the standard design for overlapping checks concerning travel
requests.
In TRVPA you can set the warning message into an error message.

Raynard
