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

  • Trip activity type permissibility for Expense part

    Dear Experts,
    I would like to use trip activity type permissibility, grouping concepts etc. - as it is possible for Travel Planning - for Expenses in order to be able to differentiate the trip activities as per comany code. All company codes however, are using only one, same trip provision variant and one trip schema - 01.
    Once I´ve mantained the groups and permissibility in Planning part, I have now two fields for Trip actiivty type on the Request screen. I would like to use only one, with permissibility possible. But the client is using only one trip schema, 01. TRV Planning is not being used.
    Is there any way to do it?
    Thank you
    Best Regards
    Emilia

    Hi Emilia,
    I don't understand the problem. There are are three parameters below a schema of a trip provision variant to further distinguish customizing specifications and the overall process flow of FI-TV, these are (trying to loosely translate from German, might not be the exact English wording) KZREA (trip type by law) , BEREI (trip type by company) and KZTKT (trip activity type). Then, additionally, from the planning component, there's PLAN_ACTIVITY_TYPE (trip activity type only relevant for the planning module, has no function for the rest of FI-TV whatsoever).
    I'm not really sure what confuses you, but if you do NOT use FI-TV-PL, then you can just disable PLAN_ACTIVITY_TYPE in FITVFELD_WEB and all is good.
    Cheers, Lukas

  • Required entry field "Trip Activity Type" is empty

    In Travel management , when I create a travel request, Activity Type is a required field, I select a activity type when I try to save the travel request I get  this error.
    Required entry field "Trip Activity Type" is empty
    Message no. PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE078

    Hi,
    I think you have to maintain activity type for that year. check KP06 and KP26.

  • Trip Expense Types based upon Trip Activity Type

    Hi
    I have a requirement. I know that Travel Expense Types do have the permissibility based upon "Employee Grouping for Travel Expense Types". This is being done in V_T706B1 in the field 'ExpTy.Permissibility'. Based upon the group the employee belongs to, he/she can have the visibility to the expense type in 'Travel Expense Report'
    Now my requirement is can I have the same type of permissibility to travel expense types based upon the Trip Activity type. For example if I choose a trip activity type 'Billable to Customer' in Trvael Request Form I should be able to see expense types AIR, TRAIN while if I choose 'Internal Training' I should be able to see only TRAIN in Travel Expense Report.
    Is this possible?

    Dear,
    Open data element:SPKZL from SE11.
    Check the search help name:SH_EXPENSE_TYPES.
    Double click on the search help SH_EXPENSE_TYPES.
    You can find the search help exit name:PTRV_F4_EXP_TYPE_SH_EXIT
    Copy that PTRV_F4_EXP_TYPE_SH_EXIT into a 'Z' function module.
    Filter the expense type, in the loop,
    loop at spkzls where spkzl in t_spkzl_selopt and sptxt in t_sptxt_selopt.
      ****write ur logic here to filter the expense types based on the activity
    append spkzls to spkzls_help.
    endloop.
    After activating the above z function module, replace the standard function module with 'z' function module in search help exit filed.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Default Expense Type in Travel Expense

    Dear All
    I have a requirement. I have created 4 Expense Types
    AIR
    HOTEL

    TRAIN.
    Now my requirement is everytime employee tries to create an Expense Report in correspondence to the Travel Request, the expense type HOTEL gets defaulted in the lowermost grid. Employee can select it and put the amount. But he/she should not get worried about selecting it everytime while creating the expense report

    Hi Amit
    Thanks for your help, but in that node, where do I put HOTEL as the field beside "Default Value" is locked

  • Why I cannot enter an "Activity Type" for a trip with only one destination?

    Hello experts,
    Doing a travel expense the user must specify the type of activity (u201CAu201D, u201COu201D or u201CSu201D) that the trip expense is involved, but this option itu2019s only available when the trip has more than one destination (inside the table u201CAdditional Destinationsu201D):
    [Screen Shot # 1|http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1789/acttype.jpg]
    [Screen Shot # 2|http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8812/ptk05.jpg]
    When I make a travel expense report, the field activity does not
    appear, only on additional destination. Why cannot I enter an activity
    type for the first destination, only for additional destination?
    I think that the system should allow to enter an activity on general
    trip data.
    Thanks on advance

    Hi,
    Sorry I gave you the customizing entry for transaction PR05 and not for TRIP.
    So, go there :
    Tx FITVFELD.
    --> Your Trip Provision Variant. --> Trip Schema --> Travel Manager (Travel Expenses Only) --> General Trip Data --> Trip Itinerary 
    The Field "Trip Activity Type - PTK05_N-KZTKT " should have the parameters "Field Is Visible" and "Field ready for input" checked.
    As you can see, the entry point is in "Trip itinerary" Subscreen and not in "General Trip Data Subscreen".
    This means that unfortunately the Trip Activity Type is not available in the subscreen General Trip Data.
    If I do like this in my test system, in the TRIP tx I can see that the field Activity Type appears also in the subscreen "Mileage and Per Diem Reimbursement". So If I enter my activity type here, then it populates the value in my first destination (in Trip Itinerary) even if I have only one destination.
    Hope this help ;o)

  • URGENT........ACTIVITY TYPE AND THEIR ASSIGNEMENT TO WORK CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Friends,
    I have A REAL URGENT REQUIREMENT as far as activity type and assignment to Work Center is concerned.
    I work for a client who is a manufacturer of Paint equipment. I'm responsible for capturing the cost of an assembly activity of spray guns, which is the last step of routing.  However, there are 4 processes/steps of routing which are outsourced to the subcontracting vendors. we recieve the facbricated, anodised guns which are assembled in our factory.
    I need to get the cost of assembly, which I have created as an actvity type in KL01 and planned for the same using KP26. However the system is throwing up errors related to costing, and I'm not sure about the assignment areas in work center.
    And above all I'm not sure of various fields in KP26 like capacity field and what do we assign.
    can anybody help me with the series of steps for me to be able to pick up the cost. or if there is any sort of material in this regards, plz mail it to: __ email removed by moderator
    regards
    sandhya

    Hi,
    You need to do the following:
    1) Create an Activity type for the Assembly activity.
    2) Define a Work Centre in PP (T-Code CR01) which represents the location where the Assembly is carried out.
    3) Define a Cost Centre corresponding to the above Work Centre.
    4) Plan for the Activity quantity for the combination of the Cost Centre and Activity type (KP26)
    5) Plan for the Overhead Costs which are incurred on this Cost Centre which need to be included in the Standard cost of the Assembly.(KP06)
    6) Assign the Cost centre & Acivity type to the Work Centre in CR02.(This is possible only after you do 5 above)
    7) Execute the Plan price calculation (T-code KSPI)
    After you do all of the above, when you do the Costing Run, all the relevant costs will be picked.
    Ofcourse all the relevant master data for PP like BOM, Routing with the relevant assignments of materials to operations, etc should be in place.

  • Activity type planning error

    we want to CO planning for cost center/ activity type labor,but in kP06, it asks for cost element. how can we do planning without cost element
    also
    second error says:Cost center C231000 has none of the activity types used here
    Message no. K8102
    Activity type LABOR not planned on any of the cost centers used here
    Message no. K8103
    when I check activity type setting, it is: activity type category:1, price indicator:1
    how can I change activity type and cost center to allow kp06 posting

    Hello
    You have to enter the plan against the cost element in KP06.
    Check if the activities are assigned to work centers and work centers are mapped to cost centers. Also in the activity master You allow the cost center category in which the cost center C231000 is created. You may enter * in the field CCtr. category.

  • Update of project planning after change in activity type

    Hello Experts,
    we are doing manual activity input planning ( CJ40 ) via customer report per year equal to project dates.
    This means if we change activity plan price ( KP26 ) in future years, we need to recalculate the planned values in project system.
    If we manually change values in CJ40 after changes in KP26 the system calculates the new monetary value in background
    Example: Planned on project 10 Hrs a 20€ = 200€ // change price of activity type to 30€ // Plan 1 additional hour in CJ40: Monetary value changes to 11 Hrs a30€ = 330€ and posts +1 Hr with +130€ price difference.
    Is there a opinion to adjust/update the monetary value after changes in KP26 without changing plan values?
    Thanks

    Hi Frank,
    I am not sure what kind of project cost planning you are using.  Usually it is either direct WBS cost planning with CJR2 or cost roll up from Network Activities and Orders or ECP.
    The system will take AType price relevant for the period. If you have 100 hours with price 20 for Year N and 50 hours with price 30 for Year N+1, the planned cost will be 2000 + 1500 = 3500.
    CJ40 is the Overall Planning, but you still can select a year (as a period). In the Overall view you have no button for Activity Input, it will show up only when you select a year.

  • Activity dependant planning and Activity independent planning

    Hello gurus,
                     Can anyone please explain the difference between the Activity Dependant Planning and Activity Independant Planning with some examples
    thanks
    rihana
    Please, search Web

    Hi Rihana,
    Activity indipendent planning : Activity-independent cost planning covers both primary and secondary costs, but does not refer to a specific activity type.  Eg : internal and external distribution
    Activity-dependent planning : Activity-dependent planning of primary and secondary costs, on the other hand, enables you to plan both fixed and variable costs. You may require this functionality if your costing system uses flexible standard costing based on marginal costs. In this release you can carry out flexible standard costing based on full costs.
    This means fixed costs are used to calculate the cost rates and are in effect converted to variable costs.

  • Activity type and CAT2

    Hi friends,
    my client have employee who had activity type for 2009 (ACS001) and we planned this activity type with cost center(2114200001) in kp26.
    Belong 2010 year this person should not post in this activity type(ACS001), but other person with different cost centers can post in this activity type. So we not planning there cost center in kp26.
    But the problem is when person create mistake and post in cat2 for this activity type(ACS001) some hours for 2010.
    The system create only warn messages  'No activity prices exist for 2114200001/ACS001'.
    When employee push enter the system  accept record.
    So i think that we have several decision:
    1.With user rights to  restrict activity type(ACS001).
    2. Create new analysis period for ACS001. Now this period is from 01.2005 to 12.2999year.
    and split in to periods 1 period  01.2005 - 12.2009 and 2 period from 01.2010 to 12.2999.
    3.Create validation in HR
    4.Change messages type BK - 057 from warn to error. Here i think that is impossible.
    So how what type of decisions is better, and flexible?

    HI,
    2 possibilities:
    1: OBA5 change message control, you can set this message to "ERROR" on SAP-user level.
    2: If the combination of cost center 2114200001 and act. typa ACS001should not be used anymore in FY 2010 create a new validity interval for both masterdata and use the field "cost center category" in cost center master data / activity type master data to "unlink" cost center / act. type.

  • Employee Travel Expense Payments via ACH

    Hello,
    Currently we use SAP's T&E module and post the costs via an employee vendor record and then subsequently pay the vendor.
    Currently this is done by check.
    What we would like to do is pay via ACH and increase the frequency of payments.
    The issue or concern is the storage of the employee bank info.
    Has anyone come across this scenario and have any guidance?
    1) As a first option we would look enter the bank info on the vendor master. 
    Technically, if we add the employee bank info to the employee vendor record this would work just fine, but the security on vendor bank master could be an issue.  Does anyone have any insight or experience on 'encrypting' or securing this bank data.
    Thanks for any and all input.
    Rob C.

    Hi,
    Let me explain you from the beginning.
    1. Create Travel Expense Type ( The one which is visible in PR05): follow the path  - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Master Data > Travel Expense Types > Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts.
    Create the required travel expenses there.
    2. Assign wage type for the travel expense types created: follow the path - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Master Data > Wage Types for Interfaces > Assign Wage Types to Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts
    when you go into this path, you will find the travel expense types which you have created in the earlier step. Select the expense type for which you need to assign the wage type and click the magnifier icon which is available in the left top. You can assign the wage type then.
    3. Assign symbolic account for the wage type created: follow the path - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Transfer to Accounting > Define Assignment of Wage Type to Symbolic Account.
    Assign a two character symbolic account with a prefix "+".
    4. Assign GL accounts for the symbolic account assigned: follow the path- Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Transfer to Accounting > Conversion of Symbolic Account to Expense Account.
    Double Click HRT there, it will ask for chart of accounts, give your chart of accounts and then press enter. In the screen, select new entries, enter the symbolic account and its corresponding GL account.
    note that instead of entering the prefix "+", you have to enter 1 as prefix here.
    Save your entries.
    As for as employee vendors is concerned, please create a vendor account in FK01 and then assign the personnel number of the employee in the vendor master record. The system will automatically pick up the employee vendor number with its personnel number.
    Trust this clarifies.
    Best Regards,
    Raj
