Claim Meals Per Diem checkbox

[Former Member]

It appears that the "claim meals per diem" checkbox defaults to selected on new expense reports.

Is there a place in configuration that I can default this to be deselected?

I looked in special fields but we cannot edit standard fields. If we could I might be able to do it there.

This is configured on the level of the country versions. SAP made a best guess which scenario is more likely.

There is no Business Configuration view to control the meal per diem check box. It is pre delivered and for US is set by default. It can be deselected only in the Browser UIs while calming expense!

Bummer. Since per diem cannot be modified via the mobile apps, travelers will be forced to log in via a computer to modify it. That's not good for my business community.

Has there been any change to this since last year?  I have a customer who would like an expense report to NOT automatically include per diems until the traveler selects the box.  They are in 20+ countries.

SAP turned ours off initially so the traveler must select it for per diem to be applied automatically. Therefore, it is possible.

Hi Britt,

For which country version do you want the 'Claim Meals Per Diem' checkbox to be deselected?

Arya, we are configured with US01 if that's what you mean. But our travelers are international and domestic. The only reason I would like it deselected is because from the mobile app, you cannot maintain it. Therefore, if employees only use the app they will have trouble adjusting it. If it's deselected they can add per diem the old way and all will be well.
