Caution
The documentation relating to the travel expenses country version for Spain below describes the use of Travel Expenses up to 01/31/1999. The system, however, has been updated to reflect changes in the Spanish Travel Expenses Law (valid as from 02/01/1999).
For Release 4.6B, refer to SAP Note 175896 in addition to the documentation for the Travel Expenses Country Version for Spain.

 

Use

SAP Travel Management has been adapted to the statutory and, as far as possible, to the enterprise-specific requirements of the Spanish market. In addition to country-specific customizing, various enhancements were necessary in accounting and in the standard form.

By means of these enhancements, the following new non-standard functions have been enabled as of Release 4.0C:

·        Mixed accounting of per diems and receipts for meals receipts within one trip and on the same day

·        Ergonomic representation of mixed accounting in a separate box in the standard form

·        Paid accommodations and meals receipts reduce the tax-free maximum amount

Reimbursement of meals and accommodations is differentiated as follows:

Per Diem and Flat-Rate Settlement

Receipt Settlement

Mixed Settlement

In Spain, the expenses for meals and accommodations are considered as a unit for tax purposes. The statutory per diems and maximum rates always refer to the combined sum of both. Consequently, both meals and accommodations receipts (including those paid by company) are given the key for trip expenses category ‘M’ (Meals receipts) in table T706B1 (Trip expense types). In the Spanish Travel Expenses dialog it is also not possible to separate reimbursement of meals and accommodations per diems. You can only select meals per diems. For the same reason the accommodations per diems are not contained in the table T706U (Trip provision: Accommodations per diems), they are, together with the meals per diems, contained in the table T706H (Trip provision: Meals per diems/max. amounts by time).

For the Spanish country version, the Meals and Accommodations block has been developed in the standard form.
