Travel Expense (CATS) without CO

Without CO, when I cannot have internal order from cProjects 4.0, is there a way I can capture effort against task and travel expense for a task in cProjects? Where do the data corresponding to travel expense (recorded by a resource) reside in the system?
PS: SAP CO is out of scope and I am not going through the PS route either.

Hi Bittu,
Unfortuenately it is not possible.
Please see my answer in message raised by Swayam Prakash.
Kind regards,

  • "Travel Expense - cProjects" without accounting integration

    Working with cProjects 4.0 (as a stand alone system),  can I have time and effort captured against task of cProjects' project? I am looking for a scenario where a consultant assigned to a task in cProjects would capture time and also travel expense corresponding to that task (transport / boarding / lodging) expenses in CATS. Can this be done? Where can I retrieve this data from (table name)?
    Accounting integration is not to be done. I am only looking for the manual entry of data from the consultant (resource) to be stored in some table in the system from which I can retrieve the data.

    Hi Swayam,
    Yes, the time capture can be done without the CO-Integration. If there is no co-integraion, the travel expense to cProjects is not possible, or make no sense.
    If you are interested, there are two ways by CATS Integration, with and without co-integration.
    Case A: without co integration.
    1.  Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according the cProject structure and custmoizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done.  Such worklist does not have a co object.
    2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
    3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
    Case B: with co-integration.
    1.  Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according
         - the cProject structure and
         - customizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done
         - the assigned co-object of cProject elements.
        The worklist has a co object.
    2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
    3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
    4. The (actual) costs are booked at ERP system due to the co-object in worklist.
    5. Additionally, the cProject evaluation can read the actual costs from ERP system and display it.

  • Travel Expenses (CATS) - cProjects 4.0

    Once an internal order is created, the resource(s) assigned to the task(s) can capture effort in CATS which, after approval, flow back to cProjects and get populated with the 'Confirmed' field of the Additional Data tab (for tasks).
    The resource would also capture 'Travel Costs' in CATS - for eg. airfare, other expenses etc. Once approved, where would these costs (expenses) be seen in cProjects front end?
    Thanks and Regards...

    Consider this scenario:
    SAP HR system - separate box
    SAP cProjects - separate box
    Please create your employees in SAP HR system using tcode pa40.
    Go to transaction bd64; create a model view and add message type HRMD_ABA;
    Add a BAPI --- Under this add Obj, name/interface - TimesheetCPRconnect
    & Method - Transfer CPR;
    Generate partner profile - Here select the cProjects system
    Go to edit - Distribute the model
    Now in the SAP HR system, use transaction PFAL, to transfer the resources to the cProject system; There are certain BADIs that need to be active for this transaction to work; Once the iDOCs get generated, the HR resources are converted to Business partners in the cProject systems.
    In the cProject system, create a project, task and assign the tasks to any resource that you have just transferred from the HR system. Release the task.
    In the HR system, use transaction cat2, select the appropriate HR profile and the personnel for which you want to confirm the task. In this case, the person to whom the task has been allocated in the cProjects system. In the time sheet, enter the time and save.
    Run the program DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF, to transfer the time to the cProjects front end.
    p.s. I hope you find the above response useful. In case it is, please reward points

  • Travel Expenses Through CATS

    Hi,
    In the cross applications, when you configure the data entry profile, attach the Trip schema. Go to the CAT2 Transaction and enter the activity for the day. Select the Line and on the top you will find Environment. Under Environment, you can find Travel expenses. Selecting the same will open the Travel expenses screen to enter expenses.
    Note: you should have configured Travel management and maintained IT 0315 and 0017 for each employee.

  • Travel Expense without IT 17 Car Mileage

    Hi All,
    We have a problem regarding making travel expense claims and travel mileage,
    It is currently setup so that for car mileage and travel expenses then IT 0017 is needed to be setup for the useru2026.if they havenu2019t got this setup then they will get an error.
    The problem comes up when a user does not have a car setup in IT 0017 (so obviously doesnu2019t need car mileage claims) but does need to claim travel expenses i.e. overnight stay etc.
    Has anyone done this before? Hope you can help.
    Liam

    Hi Liam,
    in any case the infotype 0017 is important inorder to allow the user to create a travel expenses. In such you need to define a user group on which the mileage for them is deactivated.

  • Travel expense accounting program

    hi all

  • 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
    regards

  • Travel management: Input tax for each travel expense

    Dear forumers,
    I've got the following problem with input tax.
    I activated input tax for my country variant in Customizing IMG Global settings for each trip provision variant, second option "Input tax per trip expense type".
    I also put the tax code to each travel expense which should be taxed.
    But still amounts are not posted in FI with input tax codes.
    When I tested the situation in Testing system, everything worked fine. Then I did the same customizing in Development in order to transfer to Production system and copied requests to Testing. And from that moment, amounts are posted to FI without taxation even in Testing system. Don't know, what went wrong 'cause everywhere I did the same manipulations.
    Can anyone help me to solve the problem?
    Best regards,
    Eldar.

    Hi
      what is the rule in schema?
      i had similiar problem,  i.e. the tax code is not updated in the FI document.
      can you advice what might go wrong?
      thanks in advance!

  • BUS2089 Object for travel expense.

    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

    Dear Aditya,
    Thanks for your fast reply. As currently i am working on a upgrade project and i can see that previously the ZBOR object able to be trigger without delegate to the BOR. I am not sure how can this be done. It may be on the portal side or the R/3 side.
    Thanks

  • Time, Travel Expense in cProjects 4.0 TRANSFER

    Working on cProjects 4.0, I have a few issues with regard to Time and Travel Expense in CATS:
    1. How can the approved travel expense be seen in cProjects front end?
    2. Which table contains the travel expense data?
    3. Can approved expenses per resource be viewed in cProjects front end?
    4. Assigned to more than one project simultaneously each corresponding to an internal order, how can a use make out (in CATS), which one to capture effort in - if they are all in the same confirmation period.
    Thanks.

    2)All cProjects tables start with DPR. In transaction se11, check by giving dpr*.
    4) Configuration should be done to your HR profile in such a way that it allows time conirmation for tasks. The tasks to which the resource has been alloted to appear in the worklist in cat2 transaction. Just click on the project for which you want to confirm the times in the worklist and copy that to the data entry area. Ensure that the receiving internal order is specified.
    Use the program DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF for transferring the time to the corresponding cProjects

  • 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 & Expenses Managers are receiving tasks for approval even when Saved

    Hi All,
    I am assigned some ESS Travel & Expenses application issues. One issue is
    Usually When the Employee tries to Create a Travel Request and click on "Save and Send" a mail is triggered and reqest will go to manager for Approval.
    But in our case, even when the Employees just Save the request, the request is going to Manager Approval with Email notification,
    I never worked on ESS Applications, and these issues are assigned to me.
    Could some one tell me where should we do the necessary changes (Configurations) to fix this issue.
    Regards,
    Satish

    Hi,
    pls check event binding in TA SWETYPV, BO BUS2089. So there will be "request created" or "requested" and other events available. If both are active, WF will start in both events. Also a "changed" or "request changed" event can trigger new WF without making a difference if it is "save" or "save and send". So pls check event binding first, and maybe make an event trace in your system to see which events are effectively called by the actions performed. Then choose the corresponding one and enable WF only for that event

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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

  • 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.
