With this entry scenario, you can enter and change weekly reports. Weekly reports always cover a time period of seven days. The system presents weekly reports as week-by-week calendars. The weekly report was designed for entering individual receipts. You can only use the weekly report to enter trips for which you do not want to do per diem settlement of meals or accommodations.
To adapt the weekly report to your enterprise-specific requirements, you can use
Customizing for Travel Expenses
. This particularly involves
feature TRVPA
and the definition of
travel expense types
.
You start the weekly report by calling the
Weekly report
function in
Travel Expenses
.
The system gives you an overview of all of the weekly reports that you have entered for an employee. Trips that you created using another entry scenario are not displayed in this overview.
You can either choose a weekly report and change it, or create a new weekly report.
The central entry screen for weekly reports appears. This screen displays a week-by-week calendar. You can choose the period displayed.

feature TRVPA
that the system should not perform this check for weekly reports and trips.
