Trip Expenses

Dear Friends,
How to configure the following issues in Travel Mangement :-
1. Boarding & Lodging Expenses :- If the employee goes on Business Trip he will be reimbursed according to his eligibility (Grade Wise) and location wise (India A class city , B class city & C class city).In Trip Area & Trip Regions i maintained these classification and the same i maintained max limit for each grade and location wise and also i maintained Reimbusement Groups in IT0017 according to his eligibility, i have to restrict employee not to enter more then his eligibility when he is filling the expense report in PR05.
2.Journey Incidentals :- This will be given on the employee's travelling time (not Trip start time and Trip end time) if he travels more then 8 hours (by Air Train or Bus) he will be paid 10% of his eligibility otherwise 5%. Where we can capture the number of hours and how the system will calculate according to his eligibility.
If any one throughs some light it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Prasanth

Hi Prasanth,
1. How did you make the settings for the first point?
How will the max limit be checked, because the given max limit will be for a day if the person travels for more no of days how the max eligibility will be calculated.
2. For Incidental , I created an expense type , I did not find any other way.
If you did pl let me know how to configure A, B and C city.
Thnx in advance

ESS Portal Trip/Expense form only prints the first page

Good morning;
Our users reported that when they display a trip/expense via Portal and then right mouse click in order to print the trip, only the first page prints out. If they go to the SAP Gui and run the TRIP transaction and display the trip in Print Preview form and print it, they get all the pages of the trip/expense printed.
Has anyone ever run into this strange issue before?
Thanks.
Scott.

Thanks for the quick response.
I'm assuming that you are refering to the IMG Path:
Cross-Application Components->Homepage Framework->Resources
->Define Resources
Select activity Define Resources (Change Entries)
When I check this in the IMG, we do not have a resource called EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05.
Currently we are on ECC 5.0 and note 525862 references Rel 4.6c so I know that those corrections are part of our system. The 812903 note refers to ECC 6.0 only so this note I believe would not help us.
Should I add the resource EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05 to the Configuration?
I see that note 1140369 references something about the EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05 resource and has something to do with hight of the Trip form.

Trip expense report settlement in case of Inactive Employee

Hi T&E Experts,
We are facing a typical problem, in settlement of inactive employee trip expense report.
Details are as below:
- One of the employee moved from 1 Organisation to other. His personnel number status in old organisation is showing as "Withdrawn".
- Some of the credit-card charges on his personnel number are still pending for settlement.
- The current trip created to settle these charges is in "Approved - To be settled" status.
- Now we are trying to use "PREC" transaction to settle the trip. Transaction is rejecting the trip, as personnel number is invalid (inactive).
- Because the trip is still not in "Settled" status, we cannot use PRFI transaction to manually release the trip payment in next posting run.
We have tried different ways like making the employee active, but nothing is working here.
> Requesting your inputs to provide way-out in above case.
> Also is there any standard procedure, which is to be followed in case of settlement of Inactive Employee pending charges ?
Thanks in advance,
Aditya

Would agree with Mathieu in this case, changing the SYS_DATE on the authorization check is probably the most effective way of avoiding this as the authorization check is very strong in Travel for infotype 0000/0002/0017 etc.
FM CHECK_AUTH_AUTHP.
*    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
*       ID 'AUTHP' FIELD authp
*       ID 'BUKRS' FIELD p0001-bukrs
*       ID 'PERSA' FIELD p0001-werks
*       ID 'KOSTL' FIELD check_kostl
*       ID 'PERSG' FIELD p0001-persg
*       ID 'PERSK' FIELD p0001-persk
*       ID 'VDSK1' FIELD p0001-vdsk1
*       ID 'PTZUO' FIELD p0017-ptzuo
One other point is how you configure the leaving action for an employee who will be terminated (this is done via PR05 in the radio button "Organizational reassignment")
Whilst it should not be possible to create a trip/expense report for a terminated employee, however as there may still be a need to process expenses with posting to FI/Payroll etc after the termination date
(Table V_T582A, for the relevant HR infotypes 0000, 0001 and IT017 is relevant here and needs to be maintained) then the leaving action also becomes important.
Finally, keep in mind that credit card expenses if you use CC clearing go to the error file for inactive employees
This is mentioned in the wiki Processing credit card receipts and expenses for inactive employees - ERP Human Capital Management - SCN Wiki
Hope it helps

Trip Expense Approval

Hi
We have a requirement as follows :
1. Manager substitutes his secretary(who is one of his team member) for approval of work itmes through UWL.
When the secretary raises a trip expense request it comes to the manager as well as back to the secretary in UWL as the user is substitute for the manager .
In such a scenario Secretary is able to approve their own trip expense request.
Our requirement is that secretary(initiator) should not be able to approver their own trp expense requests.
Please suggest us how to implement this functionality (Badi / Workflow/ auhorizations)?
Thanks

try to use passive substitutions
o Active substitute ruling (for example, for absence due to
   vacations): In this case, the items belonging to the absent
   person are automatically assigned to the substitutes inbox (in
   addition to his own work items).
o Passive substitution (for example, for absence due to illness):
   the substitute must explicitly assume the substitution and can
   only view the items of the absent person in this mode.
You can have a check in BADI for self approval

Whether the trip expense report/trip request has been assigned to a wbs?

Hi Gurus,
I need the logic in determing the following:
- A trip expense report (PR05) has been assigned to a wbs. I have to determine this at header level and item level (individual receipts).
- A trip request (TRIP) has been assigned to a wbs. I have to determine this at the header level alone.
Thanks,
Sukumar.

Hi there,
I am not talking about ESS here. I am in ecc6.0. I have the costs assigned for a travel expense report in PR05 at two levels:
1) At the header level. The cost of the entire travel is assigned.
2) For each item in the travel expense report. The cost of individual items in the travel are assigned.
Let me know, if this provides clarity.
Thanks.
Sukumar.

Track Changes in Trip Expense Amount

I have an expense type HOTEL.
Employee creates a travel expense report and puts 1500 for hotel and saves it.
Aprrover gets to see that amount, changes it to 1000, and approves it.
My question is how can I track this that the amount has been changed from 1500 to 1000. In PRTE it shows for AEND one can see who has changed a trip and when. But in BELEG it shows the amount 1000 which is the latest one.
In contrary, all changes in the Advance can be tracked through VSCH, may be because of different line items for each change.
I want to track the change in the amount of HOTEL from 1500 to 1000.
How can I achieve it?

Hello,
This is not possible. As long as the trip is not yet posted you cannot track the receipt amount. Unless when it is already posted by changing the trip you get a new version which you can compare with the old version.
For advance this is difference. The reason is that the advance cannot be change once you have save the trip.
You can create your own Z report to track this down and use a reporting tool to have a statistic.

Raynard

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

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!

Error in Travel n Expenses for EHP2 (Abap webdynpro application)

Hi,
We have implemented ESS 1.2 in Portal (NW 7.0) alongwith Enhancement Package 2.
Due to EHP2 our Travel Application is now ABAP Based WEBDynpro,so when we access any Travel related link in Portal we will be directed to the R3 system.
Now we have an issue whil accesing the Create Travel request & Create Expense report applications in Portal.
Details:-
1.When we access Create Travel Request or Create Expense Report through QUICK Links provided in the Overview Page and other places we are able to access the Applications.
2.But when we try to Access the Create Travel request & Create Expense Report through the path:-
My Trips & Expenses --> Create Travel request / Create Expense Report (which are BUTTONS provided within My Trips & expenses) then we are not able to Access the applications. We are getting
Javascript:void(0);
3.Since the Funcitonality of Create Travel request & Expense Report is working through Quick Links, we thought of HIDING the BUTTONS provided in My Trips & Expenses.
4.How Do we HIDE THE BUTTONS provided there? OR Make the buttons working....
Useful suggestions will be awarded.
Regards,
JJ

Hi Joshi,
For example if you want the plannning button to work put the following content in your spro->define resources.
Resoruce key : EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_PLANNING_SRV_12
URL of PCD path: ROLES://portal_content/Custom_Development/com.sao.ca.hr.etravel.F_e- Travel/com.sao.ca.hr.etravel.F_e- Travel_Roles/com.sao.ca.hr.etravel.R_ESS_All_Users/com.sao.ca.hr.etravel.W_ESS_All_Users/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.12.planning
It will work for sure..similarly do it for expense and request
Thanks,

Travel expenses prepaid by Company

There is a certain mismatch between Travel Agency invoices and Company prepaid expenses in Trip documents.
While within a Trip expenses are per Trip and Employee, the Travel Agency invoice can cover few trips and employees at once.
Today we are posting Company prepaid travel expenses from FI-TV via reconciliation account (Accounts Payable).
Is there any way to post Vendor account (Travel Agency) directly from FI-TV with a reference to external invoice number to avoid recon process?
At the receipt level there is no Vendor field (for Travel Agency), is there a standard way to have it?

I close this call.

Travel & Expenses: car allowance

Good morning,
I need to enter the car allowance amounts (x /per milage) per country for the Travel & Expenses.
Does anyone know where to find the customzing settings in IMG?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Linda

Hello Linda,
You can define the maximum rates & default values for an expense type in Customizing. In customizing Go to:Financial Accounting > Travel Management >Travel Expenses > Master Data > Travel Expense Types>Define Maximum Rates & default Values for Expense Types.
Here you can define maximum rates depending on trip provision variant and trip expense type for individual receipts.
Reward points if useful..
