Travel Accounting allows you to account expenses incurred
for meals by per diem.

The per diems for meals are 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 meals per diem for every possible combination of the allowed entry values for the control parameters which you defined in the section Control parameters for trip costs.

  • Statutory trip type
  • Trip activity type
  • Statutory reimbursement group for meals/accommodations
  • Enterprise-specific reimbursement group for meals/accommodations

For each trip provision variant, you can decide how these control parameters influence the determination of reimbursement rates for meals per diems.

If these control parameters are active, you have to define a meals per diem for every combination of all active control parameters.

  • Day

    The meals per diems can be scaled according to the total number of trip days.

  • Hours

    The meals per diems can be scaled according to the number

    of hours, that is, trip days which last less than twenty-four hours (one-day business trips, first and last days traveled on a several-day trip) can be differentiated according to the trip duration in full hours.

The meals per diems are defined in the system via control parameters, validity period and reimbursement amounts. The entries are time-dependent.

Note

If the reimbursement amounts for a meals per diem change, you do not have to

create a new meals per diem, but can delimit the previously

valid meals per diem time-dependently using a delimitation date.
In this case, a new identical meals per diem which is valid as of the entered date is created. You must then only change the reimbursement amounts in this meals per diem.

Requirements

You need to have defined the control parameters which you want to use for the differentiation of meals per diems, in the section Control parameters for trip costs.

Recommendation

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

  • the end date can not be changed later
  • this way no restrictions are imposed on delimiting

Activities

To define a meals per diem, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose the relevant trip provision variant.
  2. Assign the control parameters according to your requirements.

    Note that you can not change the control parameters later.

  3. Define a validity period via the beginning and end fields.

    Note that you can not change the end date later.

  4. Assign the required currency of the reimbursement amounts in the currency field.
  5. Enter the tax-free reimbursement amount in the tax-free amount field.
  6. Enter the enterprise-specific reimbursement amount in the reimbursement amount field.
  7. Enter the reimbursement amount to be paid by a customer in the amount for customer field.
