56239 - Details

• The SAP error message 56239, which states "Relevant change in schema not possible due to trip advance," typically occurs in the context of travel management or expense reporting within the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an attempt to make a change to a schema (such as a travel request or expense report) that cannot be processed because there is an existing trip advance associated with it.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Trip Advance Exists: The primary cause of this error is that there is a trip advance already recorded for the travel request or expense report you are trying to modify. The system prevents changes to the schema to maintain data integrity and ensure that the financial implications of the trip advance are correctly accounted for.
  
  
  Schema Locking: The schema may be locked due to the trip advance, which means that certain changes cannot be made until the advance is cleared or adjusted.
