Some countries travel expense laws permit settlement of meal receipts instead of per diem flat rates.
The total of the amounts of the meal receipts (considering the savings made in the cost of living) must be higher than the total of the meals per diem for the entire trip.
The Comparison Calculation: Meals Receipts with Meals per Diem function compares these totals and therefore makes it easier for the approving clerk to check that this prerequisite is fulfilled.
To activate this comparison calculation, proceed as follows:
...
1. In the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Travel Management, call up the activity Set Up Comparison Calculation (Public Sector Germany).
2. In the Comparison Calculation: Meals Receipts with Meals per Diem data area, select the Comparison Calculation for Domestic & International Meals field.
You can call up the comparison calculation function in the entry scenarios for Travel Management for Public Sector Germany after you have activated the function.
