SAP CATS For Perdiem

[former_member489399]

Hello Everyone, how would you handle Perdiem through CAT2 sheet without touching Travel management area...??

Hello Suresh,

I would have an extra field with check table like Attendance type to track location or other info relevant for per-diem calculation and use CATS_DA report at month-end to book per-diem manually.

Regards,

Paulo

Hi Paulo

That means we have to find a work around. I like your solution.

The wage type determines the Perdiem in payroll, so i thought to to add Wage Type as an input field in Date Entry Sheet, but in that case i can't enter Attendance type, as Wage type ans At/Type both are contradictory. I am looking a solution where with out any manual intervention system should calculate Perdiem in the pay roll.

I like your solution, i really appreciate.... Thanks

Hi Suresh,

Without FI-TV integrated with Payroll it will not happen automatically, that is why I wrote about manual month-end booking.  If you have SAP Payroll and want per-diem as part of salary calculation consider implementing Travel expenses.

Also I do not know how many countries are in your scope, but per-diem logic can be quite complicated and not always possible to capture with time reporting, because can depend on a number of over night stays plus when trip started and when ended and sometime half-rate per-diem can be applicable.  Besides per-diem can be dependent on location, so that is yet another variable to consider and that is not native for time reporting.

Also you will be forcing users to fill in Attendance type as mandatory field, but not every one is traveling, so it will complicate time reporting for everyone and not just for those traveling.

Thank you,

Paulo
