New Process Flow for Assignment of Travel Expenses (Master Account Assignment) 

Scope of Functions

The logic used until and including 4.6A to determine the cost center to which the travel expenses for a personnel number are to be assigned (travel expenses master account assignment), is complicated and sometimes considered imperfect. This logic has been modified for the current release.

The travel expenses assignment of an employee is now determined as follows:

If in infotype 0027 'Cost Distribution', subtype 02 'Travel Expenses', the cost distribution is not for 100%, the system searches for the lacking percentage (for 100%) first in infotype 0017 and then in infotype 0001.

Possible cost distributions in infoptype 0027 'Cost Distribution', subtype 01 'Wage/Salary' is no longer taken into consideration.

Effects on Existing Data

Until now, when determining the correct cost center for travel expenses, the system applied infotype 0027 'Cost Distribution', subtype 01 'Wage/Salary', if no data was found in subtype 02 'Travel Expenses' and infotype 0017 'Travel Privileges'.

If infotype 0027 'Cost Distribution', subtype 01 'Wage/Salary' has been used in your company until now to determine the master account assignment and infotype 0001 'Organizational Assignment' can not replace this assignment, you have to create subtype 02 'Travel Expenses' in infotype 0027 'Cost Distribution'.
