Hi All,
In our scenario we have implemented T&E module for country USA with Trip Variant as 10. Now we are heading for global roll outs for different countries, to start with we are going for Europe and Latin America.
Question: Client want to use same Expense Types for all the other countries too. Now do we have to make the same expense types with all the other country trip variant or can we make existing Expense types global, so that we can use the same one for all the other countries.
Also what will be the impact on posting these into GL's.
Appreciate a help on this or some suggestions.
Regards,
Bhupesh
Hi Bhupesh,
trip provision variant is the highest structure for all travel settings.
If you would like to have the same expense types in other trip provision variants (=countries) you need to copy the settings.
Maybe the report RPRMORDE will help you to understand what and how to copy.
At the end (if you have not thousands of expense types) is to re-customizing with some copy and paste.
Furthermore I doubt that you will have at the end the exact same expense types around the world.
(Starting with translation and ending up with legal or other local requirements)
If you have a global Finance system (means the GL accounts are technical the same) you will be able to re-use. But also here I guess it is not a question how much customizing you have to do. It is a question about business alignment with the local finance manager. So PRT3 you also have to customize. This will cost you 5 minutes in the system. Discussions, testing and changes of course will cost much more time.
Best regards,
Sigi

Hi Sigi,
Appreciate your help.
There are some expense type which will be common around the world like Travel Lunch/Dinner/Air Travel/Baggage etc.
How do we make these expense type global instead of making them again in the system with respective trip country variant.
Your thoughts on the same.

You simply don't 😕
As Siegfried mentioned, the trip provision variant is the highest structural indicator for the control parametrization in SAP travel management; i.e. the expense types have to be maintained for each trip provision variant individually. With RPRMORDE (also as Siegfired already said) you can copy whole trip provision variants and all their respective table entries from the T706*-Tables. Alternatively if you don't want to copy that much, just go into the respective expense types tables and copy the respective record sets X times and only replace the key for the trip provision variants. It doesn't get easier than that in my opinion.
Cheers, Lukas
