• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FITVPS716 - The entry &1 for enterprise-specific trip type 2 already exists ?

  The SAP error message FITVPS716 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an entry for an enterprise-specific trip type that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of travel management, where trip types are defined for various purposes, and the system is enforcing uniqueness for these entries.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to create a new trip type entry (in this case, trip type 2) that already exists in the system for the specified enterprise. This can happen due to:
