1 Tips in SAP® HCM

Charts in SAP
Charts are extremely useful for comprehensive data presentation. They help to variegate SAP-surfaces, which are often somewhat dominated by text and tables, and they are a perfect means for transporting essential information, at a glance. The “Internet Graphic Services” can help you to design charts that can - with a little bit programming - be tied into a variety of user interfaces (SAP-GUI, Web, PDF-Print). Five steps to creating a chart.

How to set any trip status
You can reset 'Accounted' Trips to 'To be Accounted' (Recalculation) via report RPUREROL. In the SAP menu you find the report under Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Tools > Reset Status (transaction PRRL). Once the reimbursement is already paid or the trip is already posted you have to cancel the trip to be able to reset the status. Another alternative (e.g. to adjust an error handling) is to use report RPRTRVSW – the "crowbar". Read how to reset any trip status using this report.
