Hello Friends,
We have employees as Vendor and currently we have 3 Variants (Create, Change, Block).
When an employee is inactive, then we are blocking the vendor.
Now, when an employee is active again, then how to Unblock the vendor. When we checked, we are getting below error.

How do I turn on the capability to attach receipts in Travel (both in R/3 and Portal)? Currently in PR05 I see an icon Services for Object which allows me to create attachments. Is this the service that allows me to attach receipts or is there a more specific Travel config?
Thanks.

Hi experts,
We are configuring FI-TV for trip advances and expense reports.
We have the following scenario:
1- The company pays advance via financial accounting, for example $200.
2- After trip, In expense report, traveler fill de FI-TV form with receipts, amount $200 (balance equals $0).
3- In payroll, we must to see in debits column $200 (advance) and $200 (receipts), in credits column.
4- No more payments must be post to financial accounting.
5- End
The financial balance seems to be ok , but the payroll balance is wrong. In payroll report, we just see the credit column ($200 credit).
We had setted up the following parameters in expert view.
What do you think is happening?

Dear Team,
We are not able to find the “Cancel/Exit” button in standard ‘Create Expense Report’ when we are trying to execute the Create Trip Application using NWBC.
On “Cancel/Exit” button we navigate back to the POWL Application from where the ‘Create Expense Report’ application was triggered.
“Cancel/Exit” button is visible when we execute the application from SAP GUI.
As the Trip Cancel/Exit option is not available the users are not able to exit the Trips which are saved as draft or submitted for approval.
Each time they have to click on some other tab to exit the Create Expense Report application. But as the POWL Query is locked in OLD Session users are not able to access the trip until the Session gets unlocked manually or after time-out.
Attached are the screenshot for reference
Hi all,
I am trying to explore travel management in ESS/MSS..
Can we use workflow's which are generating on Business workplace in MSS UML ?
For example:
if a person X creates travel request and Mr Y is receiving approve workflow in Business workplace and Can this person receive this on MSS for approval ?
we are using our customized workflow on R/3.
what i tried yet , created an standard iivew Travel & Expense: Trips for Approval with object FITV_POWL_APPROVER but workflow is generating in R/3 but no in MSS iview ( FITV_POWL_APPROVER)

Dear Team,
I am creating a Trip Advance using function module "PTRA_DB_TRIP_SAVE".
The trip is getting created, I can see the advances in the Advances Tab.
However when I try to do FI transactions on that Trip it says ZERO amount to payout.
Now when I create the Trip Advances using PR03, everything works fine.
I am using a custom application to create Trip Advances because as per the client requirement Advances are paid-out under 6 Advance Types and those need to be captured on the screen.
I tried enhancing "SAPMP56T" screen 1501 to add the advance type but no success.
While using the FM "PTRA_DB_TRIP_SAVE" to create trip advance I noticed that when I get the details back using "PTRA_DB_TRIP_GET" the table ET_ROT_FORM type PTRV_UTIL_ROT_KONTI_V0SPLIT_T is blank, which is getting updated when I create the advance request using PR03
I request your guidance over
1> the approach of creating Trip Advances with Advance Types on the screen
2> Using a custom application is advised?
3> If we are using PR03 how can I enhance the Advance Screen to have Advance Type accommodated
4> When I am using FM why is the table ET_ROT_FORM is not getting updated.

Hello,
I have a new requirement to post Travel Expenses to an SAP FI system without using an RFC connection which is prohibited by security department 
I've never done this but I know that we can send iDocs thru FTP / sFTP instead of using the RFC connection from SAP to SAP.
When you create your ALE model view, you select different BAPIs like "Creditor.find". This enable you to get some data "on the fly" from TM to FI.
In my case i won't be able to use RFC and so won't be able to "ask" FI to give me some info on request while doing the posting; like the vendor code for example.
So do you think that it is possible to copy vendor accounts, G/L accounts on TM system; and then "just" create the idocs for the posting on TM and send them to FI thru FTP ?
Have you ever seen / implemented this scenario ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback 
Best regards,
Christophe.
Hi All,
I have a requirement that needs to be configured in SAP Travel Management. I have tried but could not get the desired result as I am unable to differentiate rates for day’s intervals.
The requirement is: Client currently has a Reimbursement amount for Business Trip Allowance. This is a fixed rate based on trip duration. The amount per day differs for every 7 days. An example is given below.
This is separate allowance from Meals and Accommodation.
1 - 7 Days | 8 - 14 Days | 15 - 21 Days | 22 - 28 Days | > 28 Days |
30 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 8 |
Lets say if an Employee has a Trip for 15 Days: He should get the reimbursement amount as follows
Hence: System should calculate reimbursement amount and pay: 365 USD as Business Trip allowance.
Can we do this in SAP. IF yes, please let me know how to achieve this.
Hi Friends,
We are getting No vendor found error during PRFI transaction in Travel Management.
We have done all the configurations properly but still getting this error.
The scenario is HR and FI are in different boxes. Travel is implemented in HR box. We have created employee vendor in HR box and tried to create posting run.
Attached are the screenshots for your review.
The plan is to do PRFI and PRRW in HR box and send the results to FI box using ALE.
Please advise the solution for this error.
Concur is now part of SAP, so what will happen to FI-TV?
What is SAP strategy and vision to either consolidate or re-position these functionalities. Is Concur now became fully integrated into SAP, means real-time data update and all standard checks running for data consistency with core SAP ECC modules?
Thank you,
Paulo
Hi!
I have a question regarding customization of the travel request application: FITE_REQUEST
Our customer is using the FITE_REQUEST application to request for a travel, they only use PSP elements for Cost Asignment – and the application has been customized as such.
However – they can’t seem to find any logic regarding a default psp element (neither infotype 17 or 27 etc).
Therefore they have to push the “Change Cost Asignment” button eveytime – and there they have to fill in the PSP element they want to use.
They therefore ask if they can fill in the PSP directly from the general screen – and then only go to the “Change Cost Asignment” if they have to do a “split” assignment (eg. 80% on one psp and 20% on another).
I first tried to make a Z version of the FITV_FPM_REQUEST and then I added the TRIP_CA to they general data – but it does not work as expected – I gues the component has not been initialized the way it should.
So my question is – has anyone of you people done anything like this?
It seems a bit complicated as all the components are tied together.
I took some screenshots to show you what i alleredy tried:
Help and Ideas are welcome

Hi experts,
Our SAP Portal system have been audited by IT security experts in order to find out vulnerabilities on the system that could compromise employees and managers confidential information and there were 2 security vulnerabilities detected in SAP Travel Management.
We are using the standard WD ABAP applications on Travel Management processes. The issues were detected on the attachments of the expense report / travel request. We use attachments for employees to upload risk assessment of the trip (PDF file) and in several countries they also use it to attach his scanned receipts of all expenses made on the business trip. The process is working fine and it is useful for employees, managers and travel auditors to confirm the information filled by the employee correspond to the expense type chosen and amount inputted.
The issue detected by IT security experts concerns the attachments and notes storage. As you can see on the following screen it is possible to store a note with embedded code. We did try to include the following code:
<i onmouseover=alert("c"+document.cookie); >X
This means that employee can included a malicious script on a attachment note that could be executed by his manager.
The above screen shows the activation of the script code during the approval process in the context of a manager.
The other vulnerability is also related to attachments but in this case on the file option: employees can store any type of documents with no restrictions (executable files,binary files, html files) that can contain malicious code like Trojans or other virus:
As far as I know SAP standard does not cover this security issues. Do you know if SAP has delivered any note to cover up this vulnerability. What are your suggestions to do a workaround here? Implement an enhancement implementation on this WD Component?
Many thanks in advance.

How to make the rejected trip not editable by employee? I have WRP=3 in TRVPA feature.
It is surprising why SAP travel DOES NOT have 'rejected' as a status!.
Would STATU-ANTRG=6 (Trip on hold, Missing documents) if set would work in Workflow customization?
Thanks.
Hi experts,
We have a specific requirement from our client requesting the possibility to change receipt date coming from credit card buffer since there are a lot of cases when employees buy their flight ticket before the trip.
This is causing this error message appearing during all steps of expense report creation.
Is it possible to make "Receipt Date" editable?
Other option would be to hide this warning message. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi Gurus : please help with information
Well i have checked the comments and suggestions on this error message in the forum : my question is a bit different compared to
others : Please find the scenario :
Whenever a trip is being submitted in PR05 with : Per-Diemccounting meals checked forany expense type with/withou receipt
an error message is being popped up: Entry not found in table T706V.Argument 10P US 003442XXXXXXX.
On analysing i had checked T706V table doesnot have any entries with the trip prov variant : 10 <As found in Config level : Financial accounting-->Travel Management > travel Expense> Trip reimbursement Amount-->Reimbursement Amounts For meals>
Now , i find there are other Trip providion variants saved for US Accounting : 70, 80 and their entries are being maintained
in T706V but not 10 . And PR05 picks upthe entires based on the tripprovision variant as 10.
Could you please clear my confusion on this ? Is it that i need to mainatin the entries with trip prov variant 10 in T706V table?
I have checked couple of threads regarding this in SDN which informs about some views which helps in maintaing these details
shall i go ahead and try maintaing a entry for Trip prov Variant 10 ? if so then how?
can somebody helpme with some link which can give background knowledge regarding the Trip provision variant and how it affects in submitting expense reports in TravelMangement System.
NOTE :our T&E system is in SAPEcc6.0 :users logs into the same and submits trip through PR05 transaction.
Thanks

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

Dear T&E guru,
My company is looking to simplify the expense reporting and reimbursement process. We use SAP ECC 6.0 and Amex corporate card for the business trips. It seems like using SAP T&E module would achieve this goal, and I am trying to gather some information. Could you please advise:
1) What kind of license do we need to use SAP T&E? For example, is Employee Self Service is a must? Is SAP Portal a must?
2) If we only want to automate the Expense reporting portion, not the Travel management portion, do we still have to implement the entire T&E solution? Is there any other SAP modules that can do the same?
3) General implementation timeline of T&E - with or without Portal (if without Portal is possible), how long would it take? we are not using SAP to manage our HR at this point, and would this fact greatly increase the implementation timeline?
4) Do you have other suggestions than T&E, since all we would like to achieve is to automate the expense process and be able to integrate with AMEX so pre-populated receipts can be generated and settled in SAP?
Thank you so so much for answering these questions, and any information you can provide is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Jing
