Web-TPAX Known Issue - Saving Deductible Meals/Daily Exceptions Tab

A bug has been discovered when entering deductible meals in the exceptions tab in Web-TPAX. When the user deducts meals, clicks the SAVE CHANGES button, then clicks the second SAVE CHANGES button and goes to verifies the calculations they will notice that the changes were not saved. The user needs to do the same action twice, go back in and deduct the meals, SAVE CHANGES, SAVE CHANGES again. The programmers have fixed this for Version 6.15, which should go live in a couple of months.

The Daily Exceptions screen displays each day of the trip and the default values for the meals and daily lodging costs based on the entries made in the itinerary.

The purpose of this screen is to allow the user to make changes to the meal type or the lodging cost for a particular day if necessary. In addition, this screen must be used for settlement requests involving actual expenses. For an actual expense settlement, the user must enter the daily expenses for meals and incidental expenses itemized by the traveler.

Use the following steps to "make changes" to the Exceptions to Daily Expenses screen:

  1. Click in the desired field to highlight the item you wish to change.

  2. In the Lodg. Cost field, simply type the new dollar amount for the lodging on that particular day, if a change is necessary.

  3. In the Lodg. Taxes field, simply type the new dollar amount for the lodging taxes on that particular day, if a change is necessary.

  4. For the meals fields on the middle travel days, click on the down arrow button, a drop down listing appears displaying various meal types. Click on the desired type to make the change.

  5. When finished viewing or making changes at this screen, click the Save Changes button.
