Travel Management with Travel Desk

Hi Experts,
We are having following Scenario in Travel Management(with Travel Desk) please suggest me how to achieve the same.
        1.     Employee will raise the Travel Request the same will go to his Reporting Boss
        2.     Boss will approve the above Travel Request.
        3.     Once he approves the request the same has to go to Travel Desk (Company Owned).
        4.     Travel Desk people will book the tickets/hotels and makes the payment to the vendor
                (Travel Agent/Hotel). The same information will go to employee.
        5.     After completion his tour, Employee will apply for the reimbursement which he paid on his
                own.
        6.     Finance Department will check the bills and makes the payment.
From the above steps, 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th steps are available in standard system but how to do with 3rd and 4th step.
Thanks in Advance

Hi together,
you will have several issues here.
- First of all, Workflow Container BUS2089 does not carry all planning related details in standard. So you will have to enhance it using SWO1. Especially travel service details are missing.
- if you are about to enhance it, you can also add a method to change both approval and accounting status of the trip. This will enable you more flexible process steps.
- if manager has approved request, you can forward it by mail to a central inbox of travel agency. Travel agency is usually not working in customers SAP system, so you have to use an external communication.
- agency usually sends an external PDF confirmation to traveler as they are not connected to SAP system
- as an alternative, you can connect to agencys reservation systems Amadeus, Sabre or Galileo and use travel planning. then you have full synchronization and online booking capabilities inside SAP system
- when ticket is issued at agency, credit card/ form of payment is charged. This is external process. If you want to have these data, take the credit card transaction data from provider and use RPRCCC00. Or ask agency to provide same data in similar format.
- if you use WD ABAP for travel request (which also works as standalone without EP portal), you can use "other services" to ask traveler for additional details which are needed for travel desk. You will find about 15 fields there which is much more than the standards for flight/ hotel/ rail request.

Travel management with payroll area 99

Has anyone manged to get travel management working with an employee in payroll are "99"?
We get the error message "No entry in table T549Q for argument 00 at time 11.10.2007" Message no. 56002 .
The only way I have got around this error is to create payroll areas... and would prefer not to as payroll is out of scope for this project.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Dianna

Hi Dianna
Even though you do not run payroll, you need to assign the employee to a payroll area in Infotype 0001.This payroll area should not be relevant for payroll. Generally payroll area 99 is available in Standard SAP which is used to put employees for whom no payroll is run. In standard SAP Payroll area 99 do have payroll periods generated but if these are different to your payroll period and if you need to make the travel expense payment using SAP Travel & expenses then you would have to generate the payroll period for 99. If the travel expenses are not paid thru SAP then you should be OK using the SAP generated payroll periods.

Germany travel management rule of taxability

Hi,
As per Germany Government rule, if an employee travel overseas then for first 3 months per-diems are non-taxable and after that it has to be taxable.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this through configuration??
Thanks in advance.
Ninad Sonawane.

Hi,
You have to work on the specialized industry solutions with the below path.
Customizing for Travel Management under Travel Expenses u2192 Master Data u2192 Control Parameters for Travel Expenses u2192 Activate special rules for industry solutions, the industry sector ID Public Sector is set for the required trip provision variant Only then are the industry-specific functions for this trip provision variant active.
Ensure that in Customizing for Travel Management under Travel Expenses u2192 Master Data u2192 Control Parameters for Travel Expenses u2192 Activate special rules for industry solutions, the industry sector ID for federal law or for the respective federal state is set for the required trip provision variant
Hope this helps.

Problem with Per diem calculation in Travel Management module

Dear ALL,
We have configured Travel Management module in SAP and we have an issue with per diem calculation, viz., whenever we add an additional destination in the trip (T.code TRIP).
Ex: Employee's travel plan from 10/8/2011 (06.00 hrs) to 13/8/2011 (06:00 hrs)... in 24 hrs format. When the employee goes directly to one destination and coming back, the per diem calc is coming right. i.e., per diem amount for 3 days.
But when we add additional destination between the trip period- viz., either 10th eve (18.00 hrs) or on 11th Aug- the per diem calc is being done by system for 4 days instead of 3 days only.
In otherwords, for every additional destination in the itinerary, one extra per diem is being calculated (when we simulate in T.Code: PR05)
Would appreciate guidance ASAP.

Santosh

hello,
I am having similar kind of problem can you please share your solution

ESS Travel Management - Link ITEM TEXT with DESCRIPTION field

Hi guys!
We are using the travel management in ess.
If I create a trip and use for example the travel expense type flight or hotel and
write a description for each type, I want, that this description is display in the ITEM TEXT in tc FB03.
But the ITEM TEXT displayed always for example *Trip from 09.06.2008 to 12.06.2008
for each position. In the IMG I found nothing to modify this text field.
Where can I customize this field?
It is possible to link the ITEM TEXT with description field in ESS.
Thanks,
Dirk Sorgatz

Hello Dirk,
You can use the method ex_sgtxt of Badi TRIP_POST_FI to manipulate the transferred segment text!

Issue with the Travel Management Workflow

Hi Experts,
I have developed a Custom Travel Managment Workflow which is triggered whenever a Trip is created in SAP. Now in the Workflow If I change the trip and Save the Trip again my Workflow is triggering because the CREATED event is triggering along with the CHANGE event (Verified through SWEL transaction) which doing SAVE operation. I am not sure why CREATED event is triggering instead I am expecting only CHANGE event should trigger.
Please help me how can I achieve the above request.
Thanks in adavnce.
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
It is a standard behavior of Travel workflow. Even you change the travel request, the Created event will trigger.
But you can manage this using Fork step and Wait event. In the workflow create a forq atep and create a wait for event in one branch. In the wait for event, create a BUS2089 - Changed.
In the fork branch will be 2 and necessary branch should be 1. So if the change event occured the wait step will be triggered. In this branch you can implement your business logic.
Thanks,
Viji.

SAP Travel Management Integration with Time Management

Hello Gurus,
Need some assistance with Travel integration with Time Management.
Scenario.
Punch in Punch out system at the client so when the employee is traveling or when he enters the Trip Request, after approval the attendance should be counted.
Is there a config step for the same or a BADI needs to be implemented in this scenario ?
Regards,
BLITZZ

A direct update of time infotypes is not possible. You can however switch on the integration in view V_T702N_A. With add. user parameter START_CATS = X you have the possibility to jump to CAT2 to record the time. For the update of the infotypes you have to follow the subsequent steps in time management.

Travel management - problem with post a trip for an employee in India

Hi,
I am configure travel management for a customer, in there SAP system. I have already made the configuration for countries like Sweden, Finland, Italy, Germany etc, but when I should do it for India I can not save a trip in PR05. I have copied the configuration (schema) from Sweden to India (India has no schema in standard) and that is no problem, but when I should enter a trip and save in PR05 I have the following problem:
1. It seems like I am in US because travelling country is per default USA (it should be India when I have linked the employee to the company code for India in transaction code PO13 and PA40). I can change the country to IN (India).
2. When I enter an expense type and amount, the system have a tax code for USA per default (I have configured that this expense type should choose a tax code in India but the system choose one for USA). I can change it to an Indian tax code.
3. The system also ask for a tax jurisdiction code on the row for expense type. Here I can choose 9999 as a dummy. But I have no idea why I have to specify that. I think that is typical for USA?
4. When I have changed the country to IN, the tax code to an indian tax code and specified the jurisdiction tax code to 9999 and then save I have got the following error message:
" Customization for 1600 j_1iindcus missing in table
Message no. 8I303" and when I have googled on that error message I found that I should go to:
IMG-Logistics General-Tax on Goods movement -India-Basic Settings-Maintain COmpany code settings
but that is according to logistics and everything else in the system as purchase etc is working fine with no problem with tax jurisdiction code so I don´t guess that I should change anything there if I destroy anything else.
5. If I change the country to IN and not register any trip expense but instead register trip segment, that the employee should have compensation for travelling with its own car and then save I have got the message that I have not maintained the currency USD/rupie which is a sign of that the systém beleives that we are in USA.
Please help. I have no idea how to come around this.
Best regards Lisa

Hi again,
In transaction code FITVFELD I have IN as default country but if I change that country to another I still have US as trip country in PR05. In that transaction code (FITVFELD) I have domestic trip, international etc (like configuration in Sweden), but when I initialize a new trip for India I can not change trip type, if there is a domestic or international. When I do the same for Sweden I can choose so I wonder if the system get the information from USA from anywhere else.
I have also read about jurisdiction code and that is special for USA and Canada and then not for India?
Regards Lisa

Error when creating a travel request with Advance amount

Hi Gurus,
When I create a travel request with an Advance amount and try to save the same, the system throws up an error msg : "Trip country does not exist in the system (T005).
However, it allows me to create the travel request without this error if i dont enter any advance amount in the travel request.
I checked the tables V_T706L and V_T706O and found my trip county to be existing.
Regards
Prakash

Hello Prakash,
The following are the prerequisites for transferring trip costs to accounting. In other words when you try to create and save a travel request with advance you are involving accounting entries and therefore the following needed to be checked:
1.Travel Management and Accounting are both at Release 4.5A. If at least one of the systems
has a release level lower than 4.5A, follow the instructions in Customizing for ALE.
2. For payment to be effected, vendor accounts must exist in Accounting for the respective
personnel numbers.
3. The following Accounting tables must be replicated in the Travel Management System using
Customizing transports:
Company Codes (T001)
Countries (T005)
Input Tax Codes (T007A, T007S)
Document Types (T003)
4. The transfer of settlement results
More relevant in your case would be the point 3. Countries(T005) not defined in TM.
Hope the above provided you more information.

I'd had the same issue, but with the two digits number it has been solved.
