  • What causes this issue?

    A trip cannot be changed if the following applies:
    The trip has accounting status 'Transferred to FI' or 'Canc.Posted to
    FI'. This status is assigned to the trip as soon as it flows s
    uccessfully into a posting run. This status is independent of whether
    this posting run was then actually posted.
    The posting run into which the trip last flowed was not posted
    completely. A posting run is fully posted only if it has the status
    'Documents Posted' or 'Zero Postings Posted'. Only the status of the
    posting run itself is decisive. It is irrelevant whether the documents
    for this trip are posted; this can be the case if the posting run has
    the status 'Partially Posted'.

    How to fix this error?

    RESET N1
    Go to posting run management and post the trip transfer documents by
    posting the posting run fully.
    After that, make your trip changes.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    <ZH>Note:</>
    A posting run that has the status 'Zero Posting' also has to be posted.
    The status then changes to 'Zero Postings Posted'.
    It may not be possible to fully post the posting run, for example, if
    the posting run has the status 'Selection is running' or has the status
    'Incorrect documents' or 'Partially posted'. In this case, errors in
    the documents can prevent the complete posting. Instead of posting the
    posting run, you have to discard it. The status of the trips is then
    reset to 'Settled'. Preferably, the posting of the posting run should be
    enabled, however.

  • Error Code: 56821

    Error Message: Posting run & not yet posted. Trip cannot be changed.


    Summary

    This error means that a posting run related to a trip (e.g., travel expense or logistics trip) has been initiated but not yet completed or finalized. Because the posting is still in progress or pending, the system prevents any changes to the trip data to maintain data consistency.


    Root Causes

    • A posting run for the trip has been started but not fully posted or finalized in the system.
    • The trip is locked by the system during the posting process to avoid data inconsistencies.
    • User attempts to modify trip details while the posting run is still open or incomplete.
    • Background jobs or batch processes related to posting are delayed, stuck, or not yet finished.
