Travel Management not on Accounting system

Former Member

Hello,

We are implementing Travel Management on SAP ECC6 EHP4.

The landscape has 3 separated systems for HR, Travel and Accounting.

What should be done in terms of data regarding accounting like G/L accounts, symbolic accounts and wage types.  Should they all be replicated on both Accounting and Travel system?

Thanks,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

This is how we can proceed.

Create GL accounts related to travel in FI (Travel Expenses),

Create Expense Types in TM. Link these expense types to Wage Types in TM.

Link Wage Type to Symbolic Account in TM. Then link Symbolic Account to GL accounts in TM.

There is no replication of data anywhere.

Hope this helps.

Warm Regards,

Aneesh

Is the link between symbolic accounts and G/L accounts done in FI or TRV system?  If it is done in TRV, then I assume we need to have G/L account replicated from FI to TRV system.

The link is done in TRV, but there is no replication required. The GL Account field is just a text field. See below.

Hi Lauent:

This is the setup to allow for all interfaces (posting into FI and running at least some expenses through payroll e.g. for taxes or legal reporting):

- wagetypes in HR and travel

- symbolic accounts in travel and FI

- G/L accounts in FI

the concept of symbolic accounts allows you not to have G/L acc in 2 ststems:

- assign wagetype to symb acc in travel

- assign symb acc to GL in FI

But you may want to rethink the decision to have 3 systems. It's extra admin cost and unnecessary complexity, when you have ESS/MSS in travel as well as other HR processes.

Kind regards

Thanks for your answer.

EA-TRV has already been activated.

Unfortunately, we cannot change architecture as it is already implemented this way at the customer.

Well, then the part of the answer before the "But" will do 🙂

You have to activate this in SFW5.

ENTERPRISE_EXTENSIONS -> EA-TRV (Travel Management Extension)

Make sure, you first read the instructions and activate it in test system and do the necessary testing for validation with other modules before you do it in live.

Once you activate in SFW5, you can see that in Financial accounting new.

Thanks,
