Travel management - Mass correction of travel expense reports

Hello,

The following problem: The wrong per diems for meals were entered in 2024 2024.

How can the trips to be corrected be determined? Is there a report that lists the trips with the individual days including the per diems and deductions?

How can the trips be corrected retroactively once the per diems with the correct values are back in the system? Is there a mass processing or must each trip be corrected individually?

    Hi, to address your issue with incorrect per diems in SAP, I assume you are using SAP Concur or a similar SAP-based travel expense reporting software. Here is a general guide on how to proceed ### 1. Identify trips that have incorrect per diems: To find out which trips are affected, you can use an existing report or create a new report that shows you the information you need. In SAP Concur, you can generate a custom report that shows all trips within a specific time period along with the per diems used and the correct amounts - SAP Concur: You can use the reporting feature and set filters to identify trips booked in a specific time period where incorrect per diems may have been applied. You can include different fields in the report such as trip date, employee, applied per diems and amounts ### 2. Correction of per diems: Once the correct per diems are stored in the system, you need to retroactively correct the affected trips. There are basically two ways to do this: #### a. Manual correction: If there are only a few cases, you could correct each trip manually. This would be possible by editing each individual settlement in the software, but this can be very time-consuming. #### b. Mass processing: For a larger number of corrections, mass processing would be more efficient. The specific procedure depends on the SAP solution you are using - Report in SAP Concur: If available, use the bulk processing or batch processing feature to make changes to multiple entries at once. Often the system allows you to upload changed data via Excel file or via an API ### 3. SAP Transaction or API usage: Some SAP systems allow you to use custom scripts or programs to update data masses. This could be an SAP ABAP program written specifically for this type of mass correction - ABAP programming: A special ABAP program could be developed to identify all relevant travel expense reports, extract the incorrect per diems, and then programmatically overwrite them with the correct amounts ### 4. Test and Validate: Ensure that all changes have been applied correctly by reviewing samples of corrected trips. You may also want to run additional reports to ensure correctness ### Conclusion: For the exact process and availability of the functions, you should consult the user manual of your specific SAP version or contact your SAP support to ensure that all steps are performed correctly and in accordance with best practices.
