One of the most frequent questions asked by our Customers about Expense Reports features is IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO CREATE REPORTS FOR OTHER EMPLOYEES VIA STANDARD SAP FIORI APPLICATION.
Such option is available in the Fiori application of My Travel and Expenses after implementation the ODATA service PAOC_TRV_SRV (SAP note 2441151. Must be implemented along with 1622954).
The ODATA service is not the only solution for Employee List management. The ability to select employees’ Personnel Numbers is achieved by using the SAP Fiori application of Employee List (FITV_EMPLOYEE_LIST).
You can handle Employee List via Filter where our attention is paid to the item of Users.
Front-end functionality allows to choose any of the PRECONFIGURED employees.
As a result, handled Personnel Number will be switched off.
SAP Fiori application configuration for travel expense reports posting on behalf of other employees is defined in the back-end system. The two system objects which need adjustments are:
- data personalization;
- standard SAP role SAP_FI_TV_WEB_ASSISTANT_2.
