12 Slide 12 SAP View of Trip Schema

13 Slide 13 International Travel It is important to select the correct country as the destination for the trip because the IRS requires reporting on foreign travel expenses. The screen view for the next few slides are displayed in the WIN GUI view. If login to SAP and then select ECC, you are entering in WIN GUI. Click the Trip Country field and the drop down box indicator will appear at the end of the field.

14 Slide 14 Trip Country After you click on the drop down list, the list of trip countries will appear. Do not select ALL from the drop-down list. If the country does not appear search for it. If it still does not appear contact Hopkins One help desk at 410-735-4500. Approvers should reject a trip document where ALL has been selected. Accounts Payable cannot process the payment if ALL has been selected.

15 Slide 15 International Travel – Selecting the Country To search for a country, click the arrow head to open the search box. Enter the country in the Name of Trip Country field and click the green check mark to begin the search.

16 Slide 16 Results from the Trip Country Search The search result for the country requested Uganda are now listed. By double clicking the relevant country and city, the trip field will automatically populate the information into the trip country field.

Then, enter the name of the country and click Start Search. Make sure you click on the search button and not the green check mark to begin the search for the trip country.

19 Slide 19 New Certification Feature To meet IRS requirements regarding travel, a new certification has been added for travel starting May 4, 2012 and it applies to: Domestic trips International trips The certification should be checked if it is applicable to the trip. The approver can reject a travel expense report if the certification should have been checked. If travel costs are submitted using the Non-Travel Related Exp schema, the payment will not be processed. The department will be contacted to delete the request. The request would be recreated using the correct schema.

20 Slide 20 About the Certification Vacation time is sometimes taken before or after a business trip such that the person stays at the destination longer than the business activities. In almost all cases, business activities will determine the need for the trip such that travel will be taken for business purposes and any vacation taken is not considered in deciding to take the business trip. All personal costs for any vacation time would not be included in the travel expense report. If vacation is the major consideration for the trip, certain costs such as airfare may have to be prorated. The full amount is not a qualified business expense. Only the business portion of prorated costs can be included in the travel expense report.

21 Slide 21 New Feature After the travel expense report entry is complete and the initiator clicks the save icon to save the trip, the IRS Compliance Check box will appear.

22 Slide 22 New Feature If the statement is applicable to the trip, check the box, then click Ok Once the box is checked for a trip document, it will not appear again when additional expenses are added to the report.

23 Slide 23 Departmental Approvers Notification If a travel expense report is submitted for approval and the IRS Compliance Check box has not been checked, the approver will get this warning. If the box should have been checked, the approver must reject the document so that it can be corrected. If the box is not checked but the trip is approved, the approver will be asked for an explanation when the travel expense report is reviewed or audited.

24 Slide 24 Conclusion Make sure the Trip Country field is entered and ALL was not entered for the trip country. Choose the appropriate schema when creating a business or travel expense report. Check the box if the certification is applicable to the travel expense report. If the certification does not apply to the travel, the approver will be asked for an explanation and some of the expenses may need to be prorated between business and personal. The personal expenses cannot be included in the travel expense report.
