Looking to eleminate message 56 243 'Selected trip Schema does not allow advances'

[Former Member]

Ahoy

We are convertin to Web Dynpro ABAP by activating FIN_TRAVEL_1, 2, & 3

We have a requirement that is to only have advances maintained on the travel request.

We do not want the uer to be able to maintain advances on the expense report thus we set the schema to not allow advances. When we create an expense report from a travel request we get the message 'Selected trip schema does not allow advances'

any ideas on how to eleminate the error?

Best Regards

Hi Martin,

We do not want the uer to be able to maintain advances on the expense report thus we set the schema to not allow advances.

What exactly did you technically do to achieve this, please be clear about this.

Hi

On the trip schema there is a way to set that particular schema to suppress the advance maintenance screens from dispaly. This is done by 'unticking' the advance tick box (if ticked) on the dialog control.

In webdynpro Java this error message was not displayed

In the new Webdynpro ABAP we are hitting the hard error mentioned earlier.

I want to completely bypass this hard error and have travel requests handle advances and expense reports handle expenses only ( no maintenance of advances after travel request is wanted) this makes a trip.

Thanks

This is still possible Martin in FITVFELD_WEB  - navigate to the entry screens and uncheck advance for the trip schema   - did you try this already?    

I just tested this in our EHP6 system and it works fine without error for existing travel request.

Create expense report from travel request  - advance disabled for expense report

cheers

I can confirm this, however I'm on EHP4. Martin, did you do anything else to "restrict" the advances than using FITVFELD_WEB for these means?

We are on EHP 5 with FIN_TRAVEL_1, 2, & 3 Active. With these switches active the programs for Web DynPro Java are no longer available. We are forced to use Web DynPro ABAP. 

With Web DynPro Java on EHP5 we were able to untick 'Advances' and suppress the Advance maintenance screens on the Expense report portion of the Trip. While still haveing the advances on the Request portion of the Trip.

Are either of you using Web DynPro ABAP for the expense system?

It is starting to look like I will need to raise an OSS Messge to SAP.

Hi Martin

Yes this is for WD ABAP  - I just checked it in our EHP5 system too and if you go FITVFELD_WEB > I presume for trip schema PL you have advances checked and then doubleclick on the expense report trip schema and in the popup for entry screens  - do you mean that if you uncheck the advances box for the expense report, you still get the advances box?

Or do you get a different error that trip schema does not allow advances?

cheers

Hi Sally

We allow advances - but only on travel request - we do not want any advance entry possibilty on the subsequent expense report.

So th answer your question - we are getting the error advances not allowed.

Thus the solution deisred is to not receive this error message.
