FITVPS176 - Details

• The SAP error message FITVPS176 indicates that there is an issue with the trip type configuration in the travel management module. Specifically, it states that the main destination of a trip cannot be an absence. This typically occurs when a user is trying to create or modify a travel request or expense report, and the system is enforcing rules related to the trip type and its associated destinations.
  
  Cause:
  
  Trip Type Configuration: The trip type you are using may be configured in such a way that it does not allow absences as a main destination. This is often a result of enterprise-specific settings that dictate how travel requests should be processed.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The user may have inadvertently selected an absence type instead of a valid destination for the trip.
  System Settings: There may be specific settings in the SAP system that restrict the use of absence types in certain contexts.
  
  
  Solution:
