Cumulative expenses in Travel

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Could you help us to evaluate if the following rule can be configured as standard in FI-TM, and if not, what would be the development complexity below and how it would be done (any hint) ?

1) There is a company policy, differentiated by positions (managers can spend $ 100 per day with food, and others up to $ 80 per day, but this rule is cumulative).

2) If the employee declare an expense report concerning two days of travel, and inform only 1 receipt feed of U$160, the system should allow, as one must  allow receipt of $ 200 for managers, with this same two days scenario.


To sum up, we would like to know if the rule in FI-TM is inserted by day and per receipt (in case it daily, is there a way to calculate the total receipts)
or can be by period and expense category (also adding the receipts in the same expense category).

Best, Hamilton

Hi Mamilton,

in customizing you can only set thresholds per expense type.

Means if you enter one expense type two times in a trip you have "double" thresholds. 🙂

So not very useful to your requirement.

But you can use the user exit "before save" to implement this rule.

in the IMG: travel -> Badi -> Entry -> User-Exits:Save trip (before an after assigning trip number) => this starts CMOD then enter komponent EXIT_SAPMP56T_002 or EXIT_SAPMP56T_003 this creates enhancement: FITR0003 and/or FITR0005
