56448 - Details

• The SAP error message 56448, which states "Manual changes to travel plan documents will be overwritten," typically occurs in the context of SAP Travel Management when a user attempts to manually modify a travel plan that is linked to a travel request or travel expense report that is being processed or has been automatically updated by the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Automatic Updates: The system may be set to automatically update travel plans based on certain criteria or workflows, which can lead to conflicts when a user tries to make manual changes.
  Locked Documents: The travel plan document may be locked for editing due to ongoing processes or approvals.
  Integration with Other Modules: If the travel management module is integrated with other SAP modules (like HR or Finance), changes in those modules can trigger updates in the travel plan, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the travel plan document is not currently being processed
