The system can create meals per diems scaled by hours from the meals per diems per day.

To do this, the system needs calculation guidelines: meals per diems scaled by hours for each meals per diem per day which specify which portion of the reimbursement amount (for the meals per diem per day) is to be calculated as the reimbursement amount for the per diems scaled by hours. If the initial value for the calculation of

meals per diems scaled by hours is not the same as the meals per diem

per day, you can calculate this from the meals per diem per day. To

do this, the system requires a calculation guideline for 24 hours.

The calculation guidelines can be differentiated using, among other things, the following control parameters:

  • enterprise-specific trip type
  • number of days

    These control parameters are always active during accounting.

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

You can decide whether each of these four control parameters is active during accounting in the IMG activity Define influence of control parameters: meals

These settings effect the meals accounting line in the IMG activity

Travel Expenses Control (Expert View):

You must define calculation guidelines for every combination of the six control parameters that you defined for the meals per diems per day.

In addition, you have the option to distinguish the calculation guidelines according to trip country and trip region. The calculation guidelines within a trip provision variant are, however, usually not distinguished according to trip areas.

The calculation guidelines: meals per diems scaled by hours are defined time-dependently in the system via control parameters, validity period and scaling factors.

The system calculates the reimbursement amounts scaled by hours via the scaling reports as follows:
The scaling quotient is calculated from the full-number values entered in the numerator and denominator fields. The reimbursement amount for the meals per diem per day is multiplied by this scaling quotient. The resulting value for the reimbursement amount scaled by hours is rounded by the system according to the rounding off indicator which you specify in the report.

Note

If the scaling quotient in the calculation guidelines changes, you do not need to create new calculation guidelines, since it is possible to give the previously valid calculation guidelines a time delimitation using a delimitation date.
In this case, new identical calculation guidelines which are valid as of the entered date are created. In the new calculation guidelines, you must then only change the values used for the scaling quotient.

Requirements

You need to have defined the control parameters which you want to use for differentiating calculation guidelines in the section Control parameters for trip costs.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you set the end date of the validity period of calculation guidelines 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 the calculation guidelines, 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. Enter the numerator which must be used for calculating the tax-free reimbursement amount in the statutory numerator field.
  5. Enter the numerator which is to be used to calculate the reimbursement amounts in the enterprise numerator field.

To delimit the existing calculation guidelines,
proceed as follows:

  1. Select the relevant calculation guidelines in the overview screen.
  2. Choose Goto -> Detail.

    You are now in the detail screen.

  3. Choose Edit -> Delimit validity.
  4. In the valid from field, enter the new validity date.
  5. Press continue.
  6. Check the entry in the Stat. numerator field. It can be changed.
  7. If relevant, change the numerator for calculating the enterprise-specific reimbursement amount in the Enterprise numerator field.
  8. Check the denominator in the denominator field, and change it, too, if necessary.
