  The SAP error message "56729 Duration of main destination exceeds trav.allow.dur.(->sep. Allowance)" typically occurs in the context of travel management within SAP, particularly when dealing with travel allowances and expense reports. This error indicates that the duration of travel to a main destination exceeds the allowed travel duration as defined in the system settings.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Allowed Duration: The main reason for this error is that the total travel duration for a specific trip exceeds the maximum duration allowed for travel allowances. This can happen if the travel dates or times are incorrectly entered or if the travel policy has changed.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for travel allowances may not be aligned with the actual travel plans. This includes settings for maximum travel durations, which can be defined in the travel management module.
  Incorrect Trip Data: The trip data entered may be incorrect, such as start and end dates, which can lead to an incorrect calculation of the travel duration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Travel Dates: Check the start and end dates of the trip to ensure they are correct. Make sure that the travel duration does not exceed the allowed duration set in the system.
  Adjust Travel Allowance Settings: If the travel duration is valid but exceeds the allowed duration, you may need to adjust the travel allowance settings in the configuration. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (usually done by a system administrator).
  Modifying the maximum travel duration settings to accommodate the specific travel case.
  
  
  Consult Travel Policy: Review the company’s travel policy to ensure that the travel duration aligns with the policy guidelines. If necessary, seek approval for exceptions.
  Re-enter Trip Data: If there was an error in entering the trip data, correct it and re-submit the travel request or expense report.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use specific transaction codes in SAP to access travel management settings, such as PR05 for travel expenses or TPM1 for travel management configuration.
