Cannot delete travel after expense report creation

[Former Member]

Hi, Gurus

The scenario is: I create a travel request and take it successfully until the end of the process (transferred to FI). Afterwards, I create an expense report based on this request. If I try to delete this travel at this point (status '31'), the system send me back the following error message: "Credit card clearing is active. Trip version cannot be deleted".

Does anyone know how can I deactivate credit card clearing (we don't use it here) so that I'm able to delete the trip? Or another procedure so that I can do this?

Thank you

Hello Roberto,

It means that you are using "Credit Card Clearing". Trips with credit

cards as not suppose to be deleted. If you want to delete this trip,

you need to deactive your Credit Card Clearing. In this case, check

your Feature TRVPA setting PE03. Please read the Feature documentation.

Hi there!

I´m following this process but I do not have authorization to use transaction PE03 - HR: Features. I´m trying to delete a trip and I still get this error. I have access to other transactions PRCCE PRCCD but I do not see any error in the cc buffer. Conclusion: Does it has to be resolved from the HR side if we are not able to delete a trip from PR05?

Thank you very much for your replay!

Best Regards,

Ebert.

Hello Ebert

Yes unfortunately there is no other way than to deactivate the credit card clearing as Raynard described in PE03 as this is the only way to control this feature as not reachable to switch credit card clearing on/off via IMG etc

First of all donot ever delete if expense is posted.

Check this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/EN/b6/cd9f2449e911d189060000e8322f96/content.htm

Third you could use one report however I would not like to mention as it is not suggested to delete posted expense as it creates inconsistencies and would create more problems.
