POWL - Travel Assistant
Dear Expert,
I'm Using POWL Travel Assistant for switch personnel number, but the problem is i select employee from list the it would error " Infotype 0001 does not exist for " I already make sure that the person do have 0001 & 0017 and all other prereq infotype are there. And if i ignore the error and create new travel request, nothing happen. But if i run POWL using se80, the error still show but i can proceed to create new travel request. Could you shed a light here?
Thanks
Hi,
Check the start date maintained in the IT 0001 and trip you are planning to create which should be greater or equal to BEGDA.
Regards,
LNB

POWL Adding TAB to Existing POWL Travel Assistant
Hello - (First time to post because my head is exploding),
I want to add a tab to the travel assistant POWL so that they can see credit card receipts. (Wonder why this wasn't done initially because our TA's have to go in and actually create a report to see if their employees have receipts yet....ridiculous!)
Anyway - the reason why my head is exploding:
I'm using the existing application ID of FITV-POWL-TRIPS-ASSISTANT. I've created a new "Z" powl query to add via all the config and now I'm using the reports to check it.
POWL_D02 - I created a type named ZFITV_POWL_TRIPS_CCC_ASSISTANT with a feeder of CL_FITV_POWL_FEEDER_TRIP_CCC.
It says my query ZFITV_POWL_TRIPS_CCC_ASSISTANT is not active (type FITV_POWL_TRIPS_CCC w/CL_FITV_POWL_FEEDER_TRIP_CCC)
QUESTION: How do I activate it??? (I'm debugging this now - will write a good wiki once figured out or with help from friends!)
POWL_D03 - Tells me the below.
QUESTION: Tells me that the "Q" type isn't assigned to the application. Ok - I've been through all the steps several times. What is the trick here. My TEST shows the changed tab order as I made the CC 1st; Exp tab 2nd; Req tab 3rd; Travel Plan tab 4th; These are ordered differently now w/exception of my new CC tab not showing up.
Thanks for any help! (We're on 7.02 with EHP4 using all abap)

Again - a wiki is coming soon.
Debug is always the answer it seems.
Just need to adjust the data in a class that I'll have to enhance in order to bring back CC receipts of the person being selected.... -
Exit Button in Travel Assistant - Area does not exist message
My client is on EHP2 for SAP NW 7.0 SP15 & EHP5 for SAP
ERP 6.0 SP12. I believe the portal is also in the process of being upgraded
from 7.01 to 7.4 (although the issue I am having occurs in both new and old
portal systems).
The Homepage Framework was originally customised for Travel
Management to use predominantly Z* Area Group Pages/Areas etc (rather than the
SAP-standard config) and is all working fine apart from one issue with the Exit
button in the Travel Assistant application (FITV_POWL_ASSISTANT).
Note that the FITV_POWL_ASSISTANT application is called with
parameter SAP_FITV_EXIT_OP=CallAreaPage. The presence of this parameter means
the Exit button is available within the application, and the area page should
be called when the button is pressed.
When pressing the Exit button however the message “Critical
Error: Area ZASSISTANT_TRAVEL_ERP2005 does not exist” is raised.
The Travel Assistant portal role contains the same iViews as
the Travel Employee portal role, but has an extra iView called “Self Services Assistant”
which appears as an additional subtab in the portal.
The parameters passed within this iView are:
“sap.xss.menuarea=ZASSISTANT_TRAVEL_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuargrp=ZSAPDEFAULTTRA_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT&sap.xss.menunobuffer=true”.
Press Exit:
What I don’t understand is that the area page is appearing correctly
and the application is called without issue but when pressing Exit the
navigation can’t return to the area page.
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this error?Thanks for the suggestions Siddharth.
We do have FIN_TRAVEL_1 active but the business function mentioned in note 1577326 is not.
In the end the issue was resolved by changing the Link Resource assigned to the ZASSISTANT_TRAVEL_ERP2005 Area Page to a resource with a different portal PCD URL, so that now the correct page is called when Exit is pressed.
I think the way this Area Page was implemented was not ideal as all other Area Pages in our setup are called from a separate Area Group Page/tab, whereas this one was not. -
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...

SAP Cloud - Travel Assistant Email Settings
Hi SAP User Community,
I am trying to understand if there is a way for Travel Assistants to start receiving email notifications for their executives. Is there a system setting that would allow for this?
Thank you,
ZhenyaHi,
What we have in the system is sending notification to a traveler when his/her travel assistant prepared an expense report for the traveler.
Other email notification that we can configure can be seen in the attached screenshot.
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.

Proxy Role - HCM (Travel Mgmt.)
Hi:
I want to set up a proxy role for secretaries of executies to fill up expense reports for executives. My question is do I have to only create a role and or do I have to make changes/config. any thing else? Is there any SAP provided template for that?
Thanks in anticipation.
pfcgHi,
You can assign 'Travel Assistant' role to these secrataries. With this role, they will be able to create travel requests and travel expense reports on behalf of their managers and employees working within the department. This role is standard role delivered by SAP.
Hope this helps.

All,
Is the service Switch to Another Personnel Number (Substitute) to change the persnnel number to be create travel expenses availible in WDA. I could not find the same.
we are planning to use WDA services for travel management w/o installing portal. As it happens anywhere Travel assistants enter most of the travel data. We cannot use the WDA travel services, if Switch to Another Personnel Number (Substitute) is not availible in WDA.
I am perplxed as to why just this one service is not avilible in WDA. Any ideas gentlement, before I raise this with SAPHello Sameer,
Starting ABAP Web Dynpro the "Switch Personnel number" has been replace by the POWL Functionality. Please kindly check your Release Notes for this.

Dear Guru's
Is it possible to upload attachements on behalf of travel expensses using an ESS scenario? We are on ECC 6.0 and EhP4 but I can't see a button in the webdynpro to attach documents or scanned receipts in the accelarated entry of expense function in ehp nor in the ehp1 or ehp2 functionality . If possible which scenario or service should we use. Should we use ArchiveLink or Easy DMS in favor?
All answers are welcome.
Kind regards,Hi Stephan
This functionality is available in ABAP Web Dynpro starting Enhancement
Package 2 with BP 1.2. However please note this is limited only to the WD ABAP landscape for ESS and
is a limitation for Java but is planned functionality for EHp5.
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
manager.
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.

9b38f83b/frameset.htm
You also have to decide between using the functionality of using either attachments or scanned receipts (Archivelink) . Attachments are created with BUS2089. These are shown:
- in the POWL under the column 'attachments'
- in the trip itself on the header data view
Scanned documents must be created with TRAVEL. These are shown:
- in the POWL under the column 'facsimiles'. If not there, please
change the settings to display this column!
- in the trip itself in the receipts view!
You need to also customise in PE03, feature TRVPA, This works if OAA is 1 and if the documents are created with Type
TRAVEL.
Hope this helps! -

Is it possible to have CFTREE auto expand? (with binding)
Hi there,
ColdFusion newbie here so please bear with me.
I'm doing some tutorials on CFTREE right now, so far it works
well as is, but I have a question:
Is it possible to have the whole tree expanded automatically
when the user first open the page? I know there is the "expand"
attribute for the "cftreeitem" element, but it is not allowed when
using dynamic data bindings.
I know I could probably do the manual looping of queries to
achieve this, but it would be nicer if we could use the binding
mechnism and still have ColdFusion automatically go through
different levels.
The data I intend to use the CFTREE on is of quite managable
amount, so I don't think performance would be a big problem here.
Any tips or hints will be appreciated, and many thanks in
advance!
BillyI've never used it but it seems that there is an attribute
called expand in the cftree items- I imagine the tag is something
like
<cftree>
<cftreeitem value = "Travel Assistant" display = "Travel
Assistant" parent = "Emp_ID" queryAsRoot = "No" expand = "yes">
</cftree>
good luck -
Add employees button missing in my employees screen
Dear Sir/Madam
The issue is not global. The user has all required back end ECC authorizations of travel & expenses for the required company code
If the user clicks on the my employees link, the user is not getting add employees and remove employees button
I checked personlization of the ABAP web dynpro iview for this user, all looks ok
Other employees having same travel assistance authorization are getting the buttons
Any idea where is the missing stuff?
Thanks in Advance
-AJHi,
Just a try, assign the user Everyone role in portal or super admin role and see if it works. I doubt it is the case but there is no harm in trying. There might be issue with End user permissions.

Authorisation Restrictions in PR05
Hi Experts,
We want to restrict Authorisatons in t-code PR05 userwise ie.,
The scenario is X user will created the Trvl Exp. in PR05
Head-HR ( Y user) will approve the Trip ( only display)
Pre-Audit(Z User) will Verify the Expense Voucher and Trip details do corrections if required, save & settle the Trip
Creater should not have Change
Approver should have only disply and approve
pre-audit only change and settle
Now how can I restrict Authorisation Userwise
Thanks in advance
ChaitraHi Chaitra
There is very good documentation for this so you should be achieve this via PFCG and the authorization objects P_TRAVL/F_TRAVL and for the values for the authorization fields BUKRS, KOSTL, PERSA, PERSG, - remember though that the object P_ORIGINCON (structural authorization) is not checked in travel.
Values of the individual authorization fields:
The authorization field AUTHC
In the components HR and Travel Management (FI-TV) the authorization
level is defined using the field AUTHC. The following authorization
level values are possible:
Value Authorization for
R Read (display travel plans)
W Maintain SAP data (create/change travel plans)
A Approve travel plans
B Book in connected reservation system
C Book approved trips in connected reservation system
Q Create trip templates
All operations
You can only specify the values 'W', 'A', 'B' and 'C' together with 'R'
and you must specify the value 'Q' together with 'R' and 'W'.
The authorization field AUTHP
In the field AUTHP the value for the personnel number check must be
defined.
Value Authorization for:
O Own personnel number only
E All personnel numbers except own
All personnel numbers
If the authorizations in the AUTHP field have the value 'O' or 'E', theassignment user name/personnel number must be defined in the HR Infotype 0105 (communication), subtype 0001 (system user name SAP system).
Note 574467 will also help as BAdi for other requirements and please have a look at also at the following User Roles in PFCG. You can see also the documentation in SAP Help->http://help.sap.com-> Financial Accounting->Travel Management->Roles in Travel Management.
SAP_FI_TV_ADMINISTRATOR Travel Management Administrator
SAP_FI_TV_ADVANCE_PAYER Trip Advance Payer
SAP_FI_TV_MANAGER_GENERIC Trip Approval Manager
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_ASSISTANT Travel Assistant
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER Traveler
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_MANAGER Travel Manager
So for this if you assign the role of Traveler for the end user (creator) given them O and W authorizations only for the object and assign this to the role in PFCG, second person Trip approval manager role with E and A auth and 3rd advance payer role with whatever authorization is required. -
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.
ThanksHI
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 -
Question about POWL in Travel Management
Greetings!
currently, we are in the process of implementing SAP Travel Management on our DEV System (Request and Expenses) and therefore of designing business processes. One major crucial point is the process of Approving the Travel Request.
We are on ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and therefore use the WD4A Travel Scenarios. We use a portal ess/mss with respective Stacks/SPs and BPs.
Business Process Draft A:
The Traveler is filling out his Travel Request (FITE_REQUEST) and is assigning the relevant cost centers himself (they are initially defaulted to IT0001, but IT0001, as per our definition, isn't nessecarily correct always; thus, manually cost center assignment possible).
When the Travel request is sent for approval, the Manager who is responsible for the cost center chosen in the request has to be chosen as the approver. If there is more than one cost center, there will still be only one approver. There hasn't be decided yet, who, in that case will be it, but this is of none concern for my particular question at the moment.
For the first step to do I would naively say "I make a POWL query with an own POWL feeder class saying 'Assign all Users to me, which travel for a certain cost center' ". Would this be possible?
Now, let me explain what I am unsure about, concerning the following use-case:
1. Traveler creates a request on 28th of February 2012 for the Date range of 1st of March 2011 till 3rd of March, choosing Cost Center A so the Request should be visible to Manager A for Cost Center A. Traveler is assigned to Manager A's POWL. Manager A can see the traveler from 28th of February onwards.
2. Traveler creates yet another request on the 28th of February 2012 for the Date range of 7th of March till 10th of March,
choosing Cost Center B so the Request should be visible to Manager B for Cost Center B. Traveler is supposedly assigned to Manager B's POWL. Manager B can see the traveler from 28th of February onwards.
Question: What happens to the POWL? Who can see what
Manager A must only see travel request from cost center A.
Manager B must only see travel request from cost center B.
What I assume will happen is:
- Both Managers can see both travel requests because both managers have User Traveler assigned, which is forbidden due to business restrictions...
Any Ideas, solutions, discussions are welcomed.
Best regards,
