Function documentationExclusion of Trip Breaks From Meal Per Diem

 

During a domestic or a foreign trip, your employees can break their trip where they can interrupt their trip for a few hours or days for private purposes. According to the legal requirements, you do not have to pay meal reimbursement for the time periods of these trip breaks. When your employees enter their trip data in the Travel Expense Manager program, they must insert trip breaks in the travel expense settlement. During the meal reimbursement calculation, the system excludes the time period of trip breaks.

This function is also available on the Web Dynpro ABAP-based user interface of the Expense Report and the Express Expense Sheet programs.
