In Travel Accounting you can do accounting of meals expenses by individual receipts.

The maximum amounts 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 maximum amount for meals for every possible combination of the allowed entry values of these 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 maximum amounts for meals.

    If these control parameters are active, you have to define a maximum amount for meals for each possible combination of all active control parameters.

You define the maximum amounts for meals in the system via the control parameters, the validity period and the reimbursement amounts. The entries are time-dependent.

  • Day

    The maximum amounts for meals can be scaled according to the total number of trip days.

  • Hours

    The maximum amounts for meals can be scaled according to the number of hours, that is, for trip days of less than twenty-four hours (one-day business trips, first and last days traveled on a several-day business trip ) you can differentiate according to the trip duration in full hours.

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

Note

If the reimbursement amounts for a maximum amount for meals change, you do not need to create a new maximum amount for meals, since it is possible to give the previously valid maximum amount for meals a time delimitation using a delimitation date. In this way, a new, identical maximum amount for meals which is valid as of the entered date is created.
In this new maximum amount for meals, 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 amounts for meals in the section Control parameters for trip costs.

Recommendation

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

  • The end date cannot be changed later
  • This way no restrictions are imposed on delimiting

Activities

To define a maximum amount for meals, proceed as follows:

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

    Note that you cannot change the control parameters later.

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

    Note that you cannot change the end date later.

  4. Assign the relevant currency for 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 reim- bursement amount field.
  7. Enter the reimbursement amount to be paid by the customer in the amount for customer field.

    Note

    This amount is currently not evaluated by the standard programs.

To delimit an existing maximum amount for meals, proceed as
follows:

  1. Select the relevant maximum amount for meals 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 tax-free reimbursement amount in the tax-free amount field. It can be changed.
  7. If relevant, change the enterprise-specific reimbursement amount
    in the reimbursement amount field.
  8. If relevant, change the reimbursement amount in the amount for customer field also.

    Note

    This amount is currently not evaluated by the standard programs.
