We have a consolidated worldwide operations into one company code (in the US) but this company holds many employees who reside in other countries. We have set up a personnel area for each country, although all are assigned to the US01 company code. These employees are paid in their local currency (e.g. GBP, EUR, HKD) via local payroll companies. Expenses are recorded manually via journal entry.
I would like to set up these employees to use travel management, but I cannot find a way to set travel expenses/trip currency according to their personnel area. In other words, I wish to reimburse my UK employee in GBP, Europeans in EUR, etc. When I try to change Trip Provision Variant for one personnel area, I receive an error message and am forced to change it for all personnel areas.
The only solution I can find is to change Global Settings such that foreign settlement of receipts is set to "per receipt". I find this to be risky since the change would affect my 300+ US users as well as my 10-20 non-US users. I am concerned that a US user may complete their receipts incorrectly for foreign trips and inadvertently force reimbursement in foreign currencies.
Please advise ...
