  Adjust Dates:

  Consult with HR or Travel Management:
  
  If you are unsure about the existing trips or how to proceed, consult with your HR department or the travel management team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Error Handling in Custom Programs:
  
  If this error arises from a custom program or report, review the logic to ensure it correctly checks for existing trips before attempting to create a new one.
