Processing Status in Travel Request ESS

Dear all Gurus,
I am implementing travel request approval process on ESS/MSS. After employee submits an travel request via ESS the processing status is set to have 'Released for Approval' status. Once manager approves the travel requests via MSS processing status gets 'Approved' status.
The problem I am having is when manager rejects Travel Requests. The processing status is changing to 'In Processing' instead of 'Rejected'. Do you know what needs to be done so that the status is set to be 'rejected' once the manager rejects the Travel Requests.
Regards,
Namsheed

You can change the text as indicated below ie 1411965 has steps in it http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Adding+Reject+or+Cancel+Step+to+Workflow+Template SAP NOTE # 1411965 - Status after action in FITV_POWL_APPROVER, provides more information on this limitation and the configuration steps. Status comes from Table PTRV_PERIO Field ANTRG (Travel Request or Trip Approved (Indicator)) ABREC (Open / To be Settled / Settled (Indicator)) i.e. we have only request status from 1 - 6 and settlement status from 0 - 4. See the domain fixed values. BAPI_TRIP_CANCEL can be used to enhance the statuses. Please check the class CL_FITV_POWL_UTIL and method GET_STATUS_AFTER_REJECT

How to cancel Travel Request after manager approval?

Dear All,
Version EHP6 and 7.3
Client is Indian.
BUSINESS PROCESS:
Employee applied Travel Request -----Manager approved----Travel Admin booked Tickets --- Employee has taken travel advance also.
Now due to employee personal problem he do not want to travel. Now He want to cancel.
Can employee get cancel option in ESS portal?
How FI will recover the amount?
What is the process?
Regards
Somu

Hello
There is no functionnality to cancel a trip in ESS portal (only possible to delete it, but deletion is only for "non posted" trips).
It is possible from backend : Canceling a Trip That Has Been Posted - Travel Management (FI-TV) - SAP Library

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.

ALV Report to display the status of the requests raised through ESS

Hi All,
We have to develop a ALV report to display the status of the requests raised through ESS
for Leave, Travel & Event Management, Travel and Appraisal workflows.
ESS Travel, ESS TEM, ESS Apraisal workflows are associted with SAP Business Objects.
we are using the function module SWI_WORKITEMS_OF_OBJTYPE_GET to get
the top level work item id's by passing the object type like PDRELA_025, BUS2089.
By using SWP_WORKFLOW_LOG_READ function we are getting the workflow log
by passing top level work item id's as imort parameter.
The report output should have the following fields
Initiator, Initiator Personal No, Request Type( Leave, Travel etc.. )
Date of application of the request, Status ( Approved by RM, Rejected etc )
Name of the Approver, Approved / Rejected Date.
The logic should be work for all the above ESS workflows and should be generalized.
Can any one please let me know the procedure to get the required information from the workflow log.
It would be great if any one suggest on the same how to proceed further to get the information as mentioned above.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeeswara Rao Balla.

Hello,
You can get most of that information from fm SAP_WAPI_GET_HEADER, input is workitem_id.

Probably, your backend is not compatible anymore with your Portal.
You may need to upgrade your SAP_HR and EA_HR support packages.

ESS - My Trips and expenses (Processing Status)

Hello,
In the ESS portal for Travel Management, the iView 'My Trips and Expenses' has a column called 'Processing Status'. The description of the trip status in the portal is not the same as in the backend (ECC).
For example:
Backend: Trip status shows: 'Trip Completed / To Te Settled'
ESS: Trip status shows: 'Trip Completed / Released for approval'
Does anyone know where the portal is extract this text 'Released for approval'?
Thank you,
Robert Cvetas

Hi Jack
The texts themselves come from the program SAPLPTRA_UTIL_TRIPS in the text elements but for the actual status, you can look to the AEND part of the cluster transaction PRTE and if you "F4" on the status in the respective column, then you will see the actual status reason.
Hope it helps

Adobe Form Logo Edit(Modify) Problem in Travel Request Form of ESS

Dear Experts
We have the ESS working in which travel Request form has got the logo of IDES (Adobe Form) thatb come from the t-code: TRIP. My query is to remove that logo and print our company's logo on the same. After doing many effort to change that logo, I am not able to make change on that Adobe Form. Please suggest how could we achieve that?

Akg
Moderator message: wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "Adobe Interactive Forms".
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on May 25, 2011 11:39 AM

Hi,
As per your code, you are seletcing data from BSEG table as 'SELECT * FROM BSEG'.
BSEG is a cluster table. Its better to use only selected field from this table during select query.
Other than this run your program in SE30 and check analysis for the queries taking more time.
Better to modify them, tune them and re transport the program in production.

Hello All,
We are implementing ESS travel mgmt. We are on the below version:
Business package details:
SAP_ESS 600 SP11
BP_ERP5ESS 1.0 SP11
SAPPCUI_GP 600 SP11
ECC 6.0 SP's (upgraded from 4.7 to ECC 6.0)
We are using travel request 'HTML' form. In the display form, we want to hide 'Trip Activity'. I searched the customizing option for the same in IMG and didnt find any. I could able to get the FM's 'FITP_WEB_ITINERARY_DISP_HTML' from where the details comes from.
My question is, to hide 'Trip Activity', do we need to change the function module and remove that particular text? is this the only option.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks
Karthik

Hi Karthik
When you say HTML form do you mean Web based form or what ? I mean are you talking of Web Dynpro application or something else?
