Symptom
The system doesn't allow the Passenger Mileage Reimbursement Statutory Rates to be changed to zero.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Overview view.
- Search and open the activity "Mileage Rates - UK".
- Select "Edit passenger reimbursement rates".
- Navigate to the Statutory Rates tab.
- 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.
