Updating expense report

Hi - after an audit was done on my expense report, I had to recall it and update an expense receipt image.
Once this has been completed, the reimbursement amount is wrong. I submitted the expense report again with a comment that the amount is wrong, however I expect this will flow through completely with the wrong amount.
How can I get the system to update and include the expense that required the receipt image again?
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,
How did you attach the expense receipt? Did you send it via e-mail? Or do you use central receipt scanning?
If you took a picture of the receipt and then uploaded it, it is possible that the smart receipt recognition did not work. You might find the Help Center document Claiming Expenses (HTML5), section "Task - Attaching Receipts" helpful.
Kind regards,
Sabrina

POWL does not update Expense Reports for Approval

Hi,
I am about to replace the UWL with POWL and the configuration have been made successfully when it comes to leave approval and expense reports but the Expense reports for approval refuses to update itself (no items in the list)
If I go to Transaction code SWI5 am I able to see all u201Cwork items to be processedu201D . From this list I can see three Task IDs
TS12300097      Approval Process (1 work Item)
TS31000007     CATS: Approval by Supervisor (1 work item)
TS99300002     Approve travel expenses (2 work Items)
In transaction POWL_COCKPIT in the maintain POWL Type details I have flagged the Sync. Call for FITV_POWL_TRIPSFORAPPROCAL_EXP. I have also assigned same Task ID as Approve travel expenses (TS99300002) to POWL in transaction SM31 table IBO_C_WF_TA_P_SC.
Result is that the list is empty in the POWL but if I go to UWL Authorize list it shows 2 items which is correct.
Please help me out here because I have searched a lot for a solution but havenu2019t found anything.

Remember Employee list is the key! Did you maintain it?
The employee list can also be maintained centrally in the R/3
backend for all users (managers). Therefore please use the
transactions FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_M or FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_S.
With this the object list is done for the POWLs.
If no emplyoee list exists for the manager, then there will be no items.
POWL is based on personalization framework where every user has its own
set of queiries and types, which are assigned using TX POWL_QUERYR or
POWL_TYPER which is role based. Similarlaly POWL_QUERYU and POWL_TYPEU
for user based.
If you want to delete a query from all users, please delete a entry from
POWL_TYPER or POWL_QUERYR.
More information on POWL can be get from
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/POWL

Once you delete the entry, please run the report POWL_d01.Please check
the details of report before running it.

How can I get the project number to be included in my expense report query?

However, in the backend when we check transaction PR05, the trip has been created and updated (despite the error msg on portal). From this, we can conclude that atleast JCo connections are working fine.
Any clues from the gurus out there on how to troubleshoot this? Thanx a ton!

Expense Report Export does not create Invoice in AP

Hello,
I have created several expense reports in AP (Running EBS R12, I am not using iExpenses), but when I use the Expense Report Export request, the invoices are not created. I have looked online and found some plausible solutions. None of them have worked: I've made sure the Employee payment method is set up; the Usage rules for payables are also set up for Employee Expenses in the payment processing transaction type. In the Payables Option screen, I have selected the Automatic Employee as a Supplier option.
Here's the Expense Report Export log:

What else do I need to do? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Astrid

I found the answer and I am posting it here in case someone else needs it:
You need to run the Expense Report Export with the Debug Switch on (you can find this under the request's parameters). When the output is ready, just select "View Log..." and search for the "REJECT CODE"; it will let you know what went wrong with your expense report. In my case, the suppliers I was using had invalid liability accounts. As soon as I updated them, the invoices were generated.

Astrid

How to automate Expense Report Payments

Hello to all,
Would like to find out more information on automating expense report payments. Basically we like to have expense report payments directly deposited into employee bank account.
Currently we have payroll directly deposited into employee bank accounts. Can we utilize the same data for expense. If so, does any have any setup documents or can share ML notes on this topic.
Thanks

If you are running Oracle HRMS, this should feed directly (configuration within oracle AP), if not will need to create the person manually. Bank accounts will not feed through automatically. We needed a batch job to run an update. To accomodate for ongoing, a manual workflow was put into place, to ensure data was consisitent. Also a notification in i-expenses to the employee to ask the to notify AP if bank accounts have changed recently. This could obviously be automated.

Expense Report - Paid-Then Withdrawn and Resubmitted.

Hi to All,
Ran into a particular problem with an expense report, where the WF has errored out. Would like to save the WF before having user withdraw and resubmit new expense report.
Problem:
End user created expense report, submitted, approved, invoiced and was paid. Now the end user goes and withdraws the expense report, updates a line and then resubmits the expense report.
New expense report has a -1 after the number and has errored out in the WF. When looking at the WF diagram...the following error message is given for that node:
ORA-20962: Workitem Property (OrigExpenseReportNum) has no corresponding value
As stated above would like to save WF.
If anyone has experienced this problem, can one let me know of there solution.
Thanks

Invoiced/Paid expense reports cannot be withdrawn, this appears to be a customization or a bug. If this is not a customization please contact oracle support with the complete navigation details.
Even if we assume that the report is not yet invoiced/paid, we donot generate a -1 report in case of withdraw and resubmit. We use -1 when the report is short-payed by the auditor. It appears to me that you have a customization in place where you added the wf parameter OrigExpenseReportNum and it was not set during the resubmission.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Clearing expense reports reimbursed via payroll

We are using i-Expnse and get many of our expense reports submitted through i-Expense that are payroll reimbursed so there is no need to pay them via AP, however, we do not have a good way to clear these expense reports in AP. They remain on hold in our AP system, we understand that we could clear them via the clear payments payment method, but this is one by one and we need to do a batch as we get hundreds of these types of expense reports. Is there another way to clear a batch of expense reports without running a "dummy" check payment batch?

We are running 11.5.10. Invoices are imported into AP via a 3rd party Expense Reporting system. As we know, once the invoices are validated and approved in AP, accounting transactions are created, pushed to GL. Those invoices are now aging, a liablity until paid.
We push the invoices to payroll, Batch Element Entry, pay out of payroll. And now as you stated, you have these invoices hanging in AP (aging). The original approach was to mimic a payment by touching all the tables (good luck), it created a mess. AP_AE_HEADERS, AP_AE_LINES, etc. Not worth it.
Then we went this route, works okay, but the problem is it's hard to control what payroll does, i.e., keeping transactions in sync between AP and Payroll.
If payroll manually creates expense reimbursements or if Payroll not reverses a reimbursemement, good luck keeping keeping in balance, what AP posts to GL and what Payroll posts to GL - we are now basically running 2 tranactional systems. Sorry, I digressed. Here is what we do now. In bank setup, created a bank where we won't run positive pay out of, the cash, and liability for this bank account are the same on so the payment journal that pushes to GL once the payment is made is a wash. We have a special pay group, the interface from Payroll back to AP updates the paygroup for the invoices to this pay group, the user runs a payment batch, confirms, etc,. Pushes to GL and now the invoices are cleared, removed from the Trial Balance. We have form personalizations so the user can never set an invoice to this special paygroup, the paygroup is set behind the scenes via our custom .pkb when interfacing from Payroll back to AP after Payroll has costed the expense reimbursements.
Sure would be much easier if there was an API to call, clear the invoice. I've searched, don't believe one was/is available in 11.5.10. Hope this helps. Good luck.

How to view changes to expense reports

I am trying to find a way of viewing changes to an Expense Report.
In PR05 there is a history but it does not provide details about the change. I have also looked at PRTE and cluster AEND but again this does not provide the details that our business users require.
Does anyone know if there is any other way of viewing the detail of changes to an Expense Report?
On a related issue we have found that in PR05 the approver name is showing as the workflow user rather than the user ID of the person who approved the trip in the Portal. Can this be changed to the actual approver ?
Thanks for any help with this
Stephanie

Hi,
I think T-code PRTE provides only screen level changes (i.e who , when creates, save or updates by whome)
For detail level changes in expense reports you need to activate Define History and Archiving of Forms
V_T702N_R26_R27
Please note that this is ONLY available with EHP5 BC 605 FIN_TRAVEL_3
Following is help available
_________________________________________________________________________Use
In this step, you can activate the following functions:
History
If you activate logging of history, the system logs the changes to travel requests and expense reports. Users can display the history in the following user interfaces:
Personal object worklists (POWL) for travelers, assistents, and approving managers on the Web Dynpro ABAP-based user interface of Travel Management
Transactions of the travel expense report in SAP GUI; for example, in the Travel Expense Manager (transaction PR05) or in the Travel Calendar (transaction PR02)
If you do not activate logging of history, the system automatically logs the changes made to expense reports (as in earlier releases). Users can display the change history only in the transactions of the travel expense report in SAP GUI.
Storage of Travel and Expense Forms in the Archive
If you have activated logging of history, you also can define that the travel request forms and expense report forms are to be automatically archived when certain events occur. You can determine which of the following events triggers the archiving of a form:
When processing of a changed travel request or expense report is handed over from the user who makes the change to another user
When the status of the travel request or expense report changes
When a user saves the travel request or expense report
You can archive the Adobe PDF forms or HTML forms for travel requests and expense reports, but not the forms for travel plans. If you use an ABAP list form, the system first converts this form to an HTML form and then archives the HTML form.
In the following activities you define which kinds of forms the system uses:
For travel requests, see Define Enterprise-Wide Control Parameters and attribute HTMLFORM_R_P.
For expense reports, see Travel Expenses Control (Expert View), Other Settlement, field 24.
Requirements
The following prerequisites must be met:
You have activated the updating of statistical data when trips are saved; see Define Structure of Trip Statistics.
You have made the basic settings for ArchiveLink; see Basic Customizing for ArchiveLink.
Note:
If you want to archive Adobe PDF forms, the document type PDF under Edit Document Classes must contain an entry with MIME type application/pdf.
If you want to archive HTML forms, the document type HTML under Edit Document Classes must contain an entry with MIME type text/html.
Standard settings
By default, history logging is not activated.

Expense Report, Payables R12.1.0

I entered an expense report invoice in payables. In the Line TAB when I click on the Invoice Includes Prepayments check box, doesn't apply. The message displayed in the down screen bar (FRM-40200: Field is protected against update).
Any One can help.
Thanks in Advance. Regards,

INVALID PAY METHOD in expense report

Hi,
While running expense report, i am getting an error INVALID PAY METHOD. I have updated the payment method as per the suggestions from metalink and it didn't help either. Could anybody please tell me the steps how to resolve the issue?
Regards,
BS.

Hey Cheryl,
The script doesn't return any record.
I did the following setup before submitting expense report export program :
1. Navigate: Payables responsibility -> Setup -> Payment -> Payment Administrator -> Payments Setup -> Disbursement System Options -> Go To Task
2. Depending on your setup, choose the View Settings button for 'Enterprise Level' or 'Organization Level'
3. Choose Update button
4. For 'Default Payment Method', select 'Based Only on Payment Method Defaulting Rules Setup' or 'Override Defaulting Rules when Default Method Set for Payee'.
5. Choose Apply button.
6. Navigate: Payables responsibility -> Setup -> Payment -> Payment Administrator -> Payments Setup -> Payment Methods -> Payment Method Defaulting Rules -> Go To Task
7. For Oracle Payables, create a Payment Method Defaulting Rule for Employee Expense
a) Choose the appropriate Payment Method from the LOV
b) Give the Rule a Name
c) Payment Processing Transaction Type = Specify
d) Operator - Equal To
Type Name - Employee Expense
e) Leave all other fields as defaulted or change as required.
8. Choose Apply button
9. Retest the issue
10. Default the payment method at supplier level.
Regards,
Bharat.

I thought of storing time zone in the time and use session variable to pick up user's log in info along with time zone that he is associated with.
However, if it has to be maintained by a table, then it should be manually updated right? I don't think that's what I want to do because a lot of our users travel a lot for short time, so they may not have their time zone info updated in the DB table when they are traveling somewhere else for a brief period while accessing OBIEE.
So my question is, how can I pick up user's locale time zone setting and make sure that the data, such as hour conversation are converted along with the displayed time stamp?
Thanks

Firefox 34.0.5 says Adobe Flash plugin is blocked, but update check reports my Flash plugin (ver. 16.0.0.235) is current. How to fix???

About 1 month ago, I updated Flash and Firefox to most current versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on WinXP, SP3, shows Adobe Flash plugin as ver. 16.0.0.235, but this is now being blocked again. No other versions of Flash are evident. When I choose option on Flash screen to check plugins are up to date, Firefox reports Flash plugin is up to date.
This program behaviour is wrong and should be fixed. Checking at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken, and not reporting correctly that more current Flash plugin is available?
I do not appear to have previous versions of Flash installed on system. This combo of software was working correctly for a while, and then became broken, without a proper path to allow users to resolve it. If Firefox is rigged to "Block" a plugin, then it *MUST* be configured to easily and **CORRECTLY** allow that plugin to be updated. Using most current software, my clicking on the "Check for updates" feature reports that Adobe Flash is most current version. Arrrrgh!!
I am now back to "diagnose and fix broken Firefox+Flash" exercise, which I just went thru.
Best solution here would be to allow user to easily override the "blocking" mechanism. This would assist users who only use Flash video access on trusted sites.
If there is an obvious solution to this current Flash "BLocking" goofery, please inform. Otherwise, if and when I resolve this, I will post a reply to my own question here, indicating what I did to fix this, as it appears to be affecting other Firefox+Flash users, without a clear solution being posted.

Adobe issued 3 new Flash 16 versions in January alone, then another new one - .305 - in February, ''along with one in early December. Five new versions in 2 months time''. So with updating Flash "about 1 month ago", you are probably 2 or 3 versions behind the latest Flash 16 version.
Note that Adobe has its own internal updater, which by default is set to check for an update ''(only)'' once a month. Adobe does their own updates for their software, Firefox just tells you when your version is on the blocklist due to known security issues with the version you have installed. It is up to you to do a manual update between the monthly update check that Flash does for your installation.
The "solution" is for Adobe to fix their stuff. Like maybe an updater that checks for updates more frequently, and not hide their updater user preferences where users don't know where they are and be able to set it for more a frequent update check cycle. ''[Firefox "checks" every time Firefox is launched, as does Chrome]''. Or fix the code in Flash that leads to it being so exploitable, and not have to do 5 separate security fixes in as little as a 2 month time span. ''Flash went almost 2 years prior to Dec 2014 without Mozilla needing to blocklist it, and when Mozilla did first blocklist it in Dec it was / is a soft-block where the user can still use it by using Allow per Flash presentation.''
My advice is to grab the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.269 from here - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - over 3/4 down that page. IMO the best version for WinXP users, as the later versions have features for Vista and later versions of Windows - won't work on WinXP or may cause problems on WinXP.
