Authorisation on creating expense report based on travel request

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have a requirement where a travel request is created in WD ABAP POWL My Trip and Expense there is a "create" link under Recomendation Action column,

Our requirement is unless the Manager approve the Trip Request the Traveler should not be able to create Expense report based on that trip request number.

How to achive this scenario.

current Role Authorisation value is as follows.

AUTHF D10 D11 D30 D31 R* W W10 W11 W30 W31

AUTHS 10 11 30 31

I know if authorisaton value 20 21 is assign in AUTHS will it meet the above condition what else value need to be asign.

Hi,

To achive this scenario try to asign the authorisation in Dual mode i.e Authorisation Object P_TRAVL

Travel Expense

AUTHF D10 D20 D30 R* W W21 W30 W31

AUTHS 30 31

Travel Request

AUTHF D10 D11 D20 R* W W10 W11 W20 W21

AUTHS 10 11 20 21

Check if this authorisation values work what you are trying to achive.

Not quite sure which value to be given

But you can try removing all the values and then adding one at a time.

However from Business perspective, this is a bit strange.

Travel Request is created before travel. Then it goes for approval.If approved then traveller goes. After he/she comes back, he/she creates the expense report.

This is basically the cycle. If any traveller is creating expense report before request is approved, he/she is actually loosing out on reimbusement of many expenses
