56742 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 56 - HR TRAVEL: Messages for Trip Costs Dialog

• Message number: 742

• Message text: Execute comparison calculation for accommodations receipts (trip &)

What causes this issue?

You entered a new accommodations receipt or changed or deleted existing
entries. When a new receipt is entered or the amount, currency or
validity area of existing receipts are changed, the receipt amount is
divided by the number of days in the validity area (see additional
receipt information), and the daily rate thus determined is compared
with the permissible maximum amount of the accommodations per diem
for the receipt country. If the daily rate exceeds the permissible
maximum rate, comparison calculation is required.
This is also required if receipt additions, deletions or changes
make overall reconsideration necessary, even if comparison calculation
has already been performed before.
The trip can not be saved until comparison calculation has been
carried out.
The calendar trips can not be saved.
Although the message was issued, it is possible that the overall
consideration of receipts via comparison calculation can produce the
result that capping or an allowance is not necessary.

How to fix this error?

The calendar trips can not be saved.
You can perform comparison calculation for the relevant trip
on the receipt entry screen.
