Budget Check Travel request

[shinas_rh]

Hi,

I have a doubt on Travel Request and FM Integration.

1. Estimated Cost Wage Type maintained in TRIP.

2. Wage Type is assigned to a GL.

3. We have Different  Trip Activity and for each expenses different Gls are there. Like Domestic and International.

4. If we need Budget Check at Request level, then do we need to  Upload Budget on Estimated Cost wage Type GL..

5. Then at the time of expenses booking,. system calls another GL and Commitment based on the expenses types.

what i feel after testing.,we need to upload budget two times.. In Estimated Cost Wage Type GL and later respective Expenses Type GL  !!!!

I am confused..

Requirement is ;

1. Budget Check on Travel Request , based on Travel Activity. without any Duplication.

2. We have budget bifurcation for Travel Domestic, International, Study, Business Trip Etc..

Somebody can give some Light on this issue....

Thanks in advance

Hi Krishna

Its long time so i am not sure whether i achieved the required results.

By checking the tread, i believe it is not possible to differentiate the Budget at the time of Travel request creation. budget check is possible,, but checking budget according to Travel type, like domestic, business, training etc.

may i know your concerns here, ??

HI,

It has been a long time since I worked with TV integrated with FM, but as far as I remember travel request with estimated costs will create a commitment, which will then reduced by actual expenses. Thus, there is no double consumption. You'd better simply set it up and see the transactions.

Dear Sir,

Your Correct Sir,

Estimated Cost from the travel Request creates a Commitment..

The issues is One Commitment item is possible from travel Request...

But we have more than  5 different travel Budget which have 5 different commitments.

I am trying to get a option to call each commitmet based on the travel type/Activity.

Estimated cost is one wage type which linked to one GL.

Now i am having one option to assign one commitment to one GL. I am unable to get a clear Derivation rule to derive different commitment from the travel types.

Thanks and regards

Hi Shinas

I do not believe this is possible in Travel Management. You can, however, try the configuration:

1. Create Expense Types (Multiple) - Should have attribute Estimated Cost No Reimbursement to Employee

2. Assign Expense Type to Wage Types (Multiple)

3. Assign Wage Types to Symbolic Accounts (Multiple)

4. Assign Symbolic Account to GL Account/Commitment Item (Multiple)

Now you can create a trip and enter multiple expense types and select Save as Request. You can also use a BADI to select the Expense Type based on Activity.

Thanks

Dear Shyam,

Thanks for your response Sir,

Actually, Expenses type is not an input for Derivation rule.. That  is the issue..

I wrote to Sap and they have provided a BAPI for this..

I am working on the same now..

Estimated Wage type is one and we can assign one GL only Sir..

and to that one GL, One Commitment item.

Hi Shinas,

You are right that expense type is not a source field for derivation rules. I was wondering if you could assign multiple GL Accounts. In any case can you post the name of the BADI?

Thanks

BADI_FMDERIVE. It provides you
with the possibility to use fields from COBL structure so that you can
influence the result of FMDERIVE.

FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT

CHECK_COBL_ADDON

COBL does not contain the information of wage type and I'm not aware of any include, which would allow to bring it it. If you succeed, please, post the solution.
