How To Fix FITVPS122 - Start of period changed to &1, end of travel allowance changed to &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FITVPS -

• Message number: 122

• Message text: Start of period changed to &1, end of travel allowance changed to &2

What causes this issue?

In the trip provision variant that applies to you, the rule is that as
soon as gratuitous accommodations are officially available, the
comparison calculation includes the entire separation allowance period.
If, on the other hand, no gratuitous accommodations are available, only
the days after the end of the separation allowance for travel are
compared.

System Response

If you select gratuitous accommodations or enter an overnight deduction
for all days of the separation allowance period, the start and end date
and the date for the end of the separation allowance for travel will
change.
This is because in a comparison of the complete separation allowance
period, a fictitious trip to start work and return from work is assumed.
