3498123 - Company Specific Mileage Rate not Selected when Creating Expense Report, Mileage Rate - UK

Symptom

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Travel and Expense work center.
  2. Select the view Expense Reports
  3. Select New -> Expense report on Behalf of

Enter the required details for the mileage expense.

On the review tab notice that the rate that is used is not the expected Company Specific Rate.

Cause

Under the activity: Mileage Rate - UK -> Vehicle Type.

  • Here a default Type has been maintained.

Under the activity: Mileage Rate - UK -> Reimbursement Rates.

  • Maintained items for the different Reimbursement Groups, for the company specific rates.
  • However there was nothing maintained with the Vehicle Type (these were left blank).

When an expense Report is created, the system enters a value in Vehicle Type of XYZ (XYZ is the vehicle default type) (even id no Vehicle Type is selected when creating the expense).

Because nothing in the Company Specific Rate is maintained with a Vehicle Type the system takes the Statutory Rate.

Resolution

 To see the expected Reimbursement Rate either:

  • Remove the default flag from the activity Mileage Rate - UK -> Vehicle Type,
    or
  • Create records in Mileage Rate - UK -> Reimbursement Rates with Vehicle Types maintained.
