3598761 - Unable to Edit Passenger Reimbursement Statutory Rates in UI to Zero for UK

Symptom

 The system doesn't allow the Passenger Mileage Reimbursement Statutory Rates to be changed to zero.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to the Overview view.
  3. Search and open the activity "Mileage Rates - UK".
  4. Select "Edit passenger reimbursement rates".
  5. Navigate to the Statutory Rates tab.
  6. Observe that there is no option to edit the Reimbursement Rate.

Cause

The statutory passenger reimbursement rates are only viewable and cannot be edited. These rates are tax-exempt.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior. The statutory passenger reimbursement rates are designed to be viewable and not editable.

The company-specific mileage reimbursement rates can be entered. If no company-specific rate is defined, the statutory mileage rates will be used by the system. The difference between the company-specific reimbursement amount and the statutory reimbursement amount is considered taxable and must be reported to payroll either as additional income or as an income-related expense.

Therefore, if a zero rate is desired, it must be maintained in the 'Company-Specific Rates' tab.
