56191 - Details

• The SAP error message 56191 indicates that a trip cannot be deleted because it has already been posted. This typically occurs in the context of travel management within SAP, where a trip is created, and once it is posted (i.e., processed for payment or reimbursement), it cannot be deleted directly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Trip Status: The trip has been posted to accounting or has been processed in some way, which locks it from being deleted.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent the deletion of records that have already been used in financial transactions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete posted trips.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reverse the Posting: If you need to delete the trip, you may first need to reverse the posting. This can typically be done through the transaction code used for travel management (e.g., PR05 for travel expenses). Look for options to reverse or cancel the trip.
