Restriction

The following applies to the functions in both the R/3 standard and the add-ons beginning Release HRPS 452A:

Settlement according to the Separation Bonus Ordinance (TGV) is not supported. You can perform settlement of domestic and international business trips that do not require a separation bonus.

But the system can not determine whether a separation bonus is to be reimbursed for a trip until travel expense settlement takes place. If the system recognizes that the conditions for a separation bonus are fulfilled during a trip (see §11 BRKG), it issues a warning message.

Prerequisites

To use the additional function for the German Public Sector, special Customizing settings have to be made for the German Public Sector trip provision variants:

R/3 standard releases:

Ensure that in Customizing for Travel Management under Travel Expenses ® Master Data ® Control Parameters for Travel Expenses ® Activate special rules for industry solutions, the industry sector ID Public Sector is set for the required trip provision variant

Only then are the industry-specific functions for this trip provision variant active.

Add-on releases (from HRPS 452A):

Ensure that in Customizing for Travel Management under Travel Expenses ® Master Data ® Control Parameters for Travel Expenses ® Activate special rules for industry solutions, the industry sector ID for federal law or for the respective federal state is set for the required trip provision variant
