Portal - Travel Expenses - Cost Assignment of Trip

Greetings SAP Experts,
Need some assistance. Have a request from our client in SE Asia to have as read-only the "breakdown percentage" for the cost object when the employees are processing their travel expenses in the portal. I have looked everywhere in config to have this as read only and cannot find the area where it is done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Kamal,
The standard SAP has Cost Center as the Default in the Cost Assignment. If you want to make the WBS as "Default", then coordinate with the ABAP to make it customise for the WBS as default.
Hope this helps.

Trip Activity Type in travel planning and travel expenses

Hi Friends!
What is the difference between,
Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Trip Rules and Profiles ->Travel Policy -> Define Trip Activity Types
and
Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Control Parameters from Trip Data -> Define Trip Activity Types
Confused!!!

Travel Management -> Travel Planning -> Trip Rules and Profiles ->Travel Policy -> Define Trip Activity Types
comes in the travel request page
Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Control Parameters from Trip Data -> Define Trip Activity Types
comes in Travel Expense report.
It can be used to define the amount for expense types

Error initiating travel expense form

Dear Guru's,
We have an issue displaying the Travel Expense form in ESS. We are not using the PDF forms but the HTML , no ADS has been set up and followed the exact steps mentioned in SAP Note 1032311. So we deleted the URL parameter in the URL parameter from the resource and set the PDC path as a non-static URL to the tripform. We deleted also the Iview property ....UsePDF=true.
Next we changed the setting in the Travel Management Expert View refering to Adobe Forms from 0 into 1, and we modified feature TRVFE using the SAP form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM .
We tested the forms in trx TRIP, PR05 and PR_WEB_1200 and all results were positive since the form is displayed. However using the Iview create travel expenses the ' Error intiating trip forms' remains. The Iview My trips and expenses gives the same negative result trying to display/print the form. However the Iview display trip form seems to do something and is only given the error that the trip parameter for the pernr is missing while previewing it, which is clear since no trip has been selected.
Help needed.
Kind regards.

Please check you have the correct roles assigned for the URL in PCD path as this is a common cause of this type of error
As per the note..it needs to be;
ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_fol
der/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/
com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_trave
l_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.tripform
Can you open it from portal in administrator mode?
Also check note 944221 to check the ADS config.

Dynamic Logon language for Travel Expenses WD ABAP iViews

Hi,
Scenario:
We have customized standard Travel & Expenses WD ABAP components (FITV_FPM or so).
For them, my task is to create custom Portal navigation as follows: -
Top level nav = ESS
2nd level nav = Travel & Expenses
Detailed Navigation = # My Trips & Expenses
Create expense report
I have created above navigation by copying std WDA iViews from 'Cont provided by SAP' folder.
Task: -
- Create two roles, one for French users (FR) & other for remaining users (GLOBAL).
- For FR role, above two iViews & iViews that open on POWL toolbar button clicks, should be in FR language.
- For GLOBAL role, above two iViews & iViews that open on POWL toolbar button clicks, should be in EN language.
- I have changed 'Logon Language' property for both iViews in both roles accordingly.
Issue: -
- Only 1st iView, i.e. My Trips & Expenses and Create expense report open in respecting language (as set in iView property of each role).
- But all other iViews that open on 'Change, Delete, Copy' POWL toolbar button clicks, shows user's Portal language.
Any idea why this is happening?
I guess these POWL actions navigate to some pre-defined Portal location and open those iViews. Is this correct?
Is there any kind of table for Travel Management package in SAP where these Portal links are maintained?
Thanks & Regards,
Amey Mogare

Good Afteernoon.
But the system not display the services in the page of area.
We copy the folder in the portal of Employee Self Service.
Kind Regards.

Cost Assignment Values

Hi All,
I need to validate the Cost Assignment for Trip, Mileage and Receipts in Travel Request, whether if the user has entered cumulative sum to 100% in Cost Assignment % or not. Currently if the user is entering 80%, it is considering this and allocating the rest(20%) to acc. to trip costs assignment guidelines. Hence to avoid this, we are validating so that the user enters complete 100% in the cost assignment.
For the same, is there any way to fetch these values in the review screen, so that we can validate them here and thrown an error and restrict him submitting/saving the travel request/plan.
Regards,
Harsha

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the reply.
If we make the cost assign (%) as a read only field, then I guess it wont allow user to allocate the cost to two different orders. It would force the user to enter the entire cost to one order itself.
The intention here is to make the total cost allocation percentage to 100%, allowing user to enter more than two line items, in the cost allocation table, so that the rest is not assigned to acc. to trip costs assignment guidelines.
For the same I have used the FM 'PTRA_SCREEN_MEM_TRIP_GET' , to get all the cost assignments in an internal table., in the review screen and validating here making sure that all the costs are allocated to 100 %.
All this validations, I have carried out in WebDynpro Application. Please let me know, if the same can be carried out through any BAdI's and where they have to be done, since I have the least knowledge about the BaDI's used here for FI-TV, implementations.

Harsha

Payroll & Travel expense

Hello Experts,
I am doing Payroll &client has got requirement of Travel Expenses..Traval Management module is not in the scope of project but they want employees travel requistion & travel expenses should be included in PA or PY...& what ever travel expenses will be there it should be added or deducted in employees salary i.e it should be displayed in payroll results...
iam confused in this...as per my knowledge Travel management is a part of FICO...more over in PA40 there is a action called travel expense mini..whats that??n in infotype 0017 where we will maintain travel expense cost..
kindly suggest ,,it is very confusing.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Vinita,
IF Travel Management is not in scope, then convey the same message to client and say if thy want minimum things to be captured like Travel Expenses, create a WT for Travel Expenses. (n no. depending of expense types).
Use IT14 or 15 to make payments/deductions.
Travel Requisition and Planning would not be that comfortable to use in R/3 without ESS/MSS.

No expense types available in PR05, too many expense types in trx TRIP

Dear Experts,
I have done all the customizing in our system (concerning the travel expenses) and now I want to create a travel expense document.
After creating the employee in the HR mini master I can start the creation of the Expense doc. in transaction PR05 (Travel Expense Manager).
When I want to enter the Expense type in the form, no expense types are available.
Do I need an additional activation or something like that to make the expense types available?
Next problem that I have with the Expense types is when I want to create a Travel expense document with transaction TRIP (Travel Manager). I can start the creation of the document but when I want to select an expense type I see a large list of expense types with many doubled types and a lot of expense types we never created. The ones we created are missing.
Does any of you have an idea how I could solve this??
Thanks a lot.

Hello - I am having a similar problem. All of our existing expense types are working fine. We just created a new one (16 variations going to different GL accounts) and they are not showing up in any of the perspective schemas.
I do NOT have this checked:
SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Integration of Travel Planning and Travel Expenses > Activate Integration: Travel Planning - Travel Expenses.
Because we are not using Travel Planning, only Travel Expenses. So for my trip provision variant 10 for US, it is NOT checked.
I DO, however have this
SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Dialog and Travel Expenses Control > Dialog Control > Restrict Travel Expense Types for Trip Schemas setup correctly. The items are listed in 8 of our 10 schemas appropriately.
But when trying to create TRIP, the expense types are not available.
I can share my config steps with you if you need them. We are thinking we are missing a step as this is our first one to create after go-live in January.

Cost assignment in travel expense

if we don't use the FI module, should we activate the cost assignment in travel expense?
how to deal with this problem?
thx

Hello,
Dummy cost center are being created following the same process like actual cc, the only important thing is that it should be linked to dummy profit center as well and finally to clear it before month end, so as not to affect the BS Reporting.
While creating the profit centre in tab u2018Indicatoru2019 you get an option of making the profit centre as Dummy.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks,

Travel Expense (Portal) - Adobe Form

Hi:
We recently implemented Adobe Forms for travel expense booking via portal. For that the necessary ADS configuration and other development changes were made. It is working fine except one issue. When we display/print an existing expense report on portal, it opens in pdf form with ides logo and other standard wording on it. How can we modify that print form to match our template? Where exactly that print form is assigned so that we can customize it?
Please advise.
Thanks.
RG

Upload your custom form via SFP.. and you can copy the standard travel expense form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM which I think you already did (check the 2nd and also note 944221 if you have any problems with initiating the travel form)

i implemented in my SAP portal the Travel Management package.

But the user can push this button more time!!! so manager can receive many time this data and this is not correct!!
there are a way for fix this problem??
thanks
Alex

I am having a problem with the buttons "Save"and "Save and Send to Approval".
The users are choosing "Save" instead of "Save and Send to Approval" and then the trip does not go to the approval step.
It is creating many problems and we need to hide this option "Send", just displaying to user the option "Save and Send to Approval".
Anyone knows if have a standard solution for this case?
Thanks,

Dear Expert,
I had created a customize object from the standard BUS2089 and named it ZBUS2089 and i have a workflow that trigger based on the ZBUS2089 object created.
My question is how do i link this object to my travel expense request. I want when the employee click on submit on the portal side, instead of triggering the standard BUS2089, i wanted to trigger my customise object ZBUS2089.
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Kappy,
The situation is hard to describe it seems. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll show screen shots....
Clicking on the Desktop icon does not open a finder window but rather opens a program. The problem seems to be that the "desktop folder" in the finder is not recognized as a "folder" but rather is listed as "anything".
Here is what the folder should be normally. (shot taken from another account on the same computer).
Solutions tried to fix this problem:
1. tried to delete the Desktop icon, and to pull it off to the trash and also to move the icon somewhere else. The icon doesn't change.
2. I've taken the icon off by removing it in the finder settings. When re-checked, the problem stays the same.
3. I've deleted the finder.plist file and the sidebar plist file in my account.
4. I've repaired permissions.
5. I've tried to re-assign the link in the info pane - associating the icon with the "finder"
I have three accounts on my computer. My main account is the only one affected by this problem.
Anyone who might have a solution, I'd love to hear your ideas!
It looks like the "kind" needs to be changed from "anything" to "folder" but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for your help!
Douglas
