Overlapping Travel Requests

[Former Member]

My system is allowing travel requests to overlap (not sure how it was set by consultant). In previous threads there are many whose systems will NOT allow overlapping requests. I want to prevent overlapping requests. Can someone tell me what the settings are to prevent the overlapping?

Hi Sally

In standard Travel Request uses the trip schema PL and for organizational reasons, it should be possible in the planning phase

to create two travel request that overlap. and as long as there is no expense report linked to a travel request it is possible to create further request that overlaps with the first one. The standard response for TRIP is that a warning will occur when you try to create overlapping trip

You need to check in T code PE03 for TRVPA for feature "WRC" as follows

The following values are possible:

o 0 = Overlapping times are not possible

o 1 = Overlapping times are possible

BUT this is only possible of the trip schema 01. For trip schema PL

it is NOT possible to configure overlapping trip unless by modification.

And also this is relevant for trips only created in PR04 with this feature as the

value here will depend on whether you also have trip from PR05 , PR02 etc

The only way to prevent this fully is to modify the coding in include

FITP_GET_VALUE, TRIP_WISH_CHECK_OVERLAP and CHECK_OVERLAP.

We are using

the TRIP transaction.

trip schema 01 - standard trip.

TRVPA for 10, USA; WRC = 0

I want to PREVENT overlapping trips. Our system allows requests to overlap until any expenses are created.

If it is not possible to prevent to request overlap, i will look into modifying the coding in include

FITP_GET_VALUE, TRIP_WISH_CHECK_OVERLAP and CHECK_OVERLAP, as you suggested.

Anyone know how to do the above in confg, before i look into teh Include above?

Thanks

Hi Sally Townsend,

If you want to restrict the employees to create multiple travel request on the same date and you dont want the system to allow overlapping of trips.

Go to Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Dialog and Travel Expenses Control -> Dialog Control -> Define Schema and Individual Field Control.

Select the schema and untick the overlapping of trips.

Once you do this, the system wont allow overlapping of trips.

Hope this helps.
