Exclusion 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.
You have activated the trip break function in Customizing for Travel Expenses
under (or transaction FITVFELD
). In the Activate Entry Screens
group box on the Trip Schema: 01 Business Trip
screen, select the Trip Break
checkbox.
