SAP Travel Management enables you to define a maximum meals amount per day for the maximum meals amount.

The maximum meals amount per day is the maximum meals amount which is accessed by accounting for a complete trip day (comprising 24 hours). The system can create the maximum meals amounts scaled by hours for the maximum meals amount per day from the maximum meals amount per day and the calculation guidelines: meals per diems scaled by hours.

The maximum meals amount per day is differentiated via the following control parameters:

  • trip country
  • trip region
  • enterprise-specific trip type

    These three control parameters are active during accounting.

    You must define a maximum meals amount per day for every possible combination of the allowed entry values of these control parameters which you defined in the section Control parameters for travel expenses.

  • statutory trip type
  • trip activity type
  • statutory reimbursement group for meals/accommodations
  • enterprise-specific reimbursement group for meals/accommodations

You define whether each of these four control parameters is active or inactive during accounting in the IMG activity Travel Expenses Control (Expert View)

This effects the following meals accounting lines in the IMG activity Travel Expenses Control (Expert View)

    Position    Significance

    8     read statutory trip type

    9     read trip activity type
    10     read statutory
    M/A reimbursement group
    11     read enterprise-specific
    M/A reimbursement group

Note

Further information on the values for these positions can be found in the IMG activity documentation Travel Expenses Control (Expert View)


If these control parameters are active, you must define a maximum meals amount per day for all combinations of the active control parameters.

  • Day

    The maximum meals amount per day can be scaled according to the total number of trip days.

The maximum meals amounts per day are defined time-dependently in the system via control parameters, validity period and reimbursement amounts.

Note

If the reimbursement amounts for a maximum meals amount per day change, do not have to create a new maximum meals amount per day, since it is possible to delimit the maximum meals amount per day which was pr previously valid using a delimitation date.
In this case, a new identical maximum meals amount per day which is valid as of the entered date is created. In this new maximum meals amount per day, you then only have to change the reimbursement amounts.

Requirements

You need to have defined the control parameters which you want to use for differentiation of the maximum meals amounts per day, in the section Control parameters for travel expenses.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you set the end date of the validity period for a maximum meals amount per day to 12/31/9999, since

  • it cannot be changed later
  • this way no restrictions are placed on delimiting
