  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI117 Result of CHECK_TRANSITION overwritten by customer implementation typically indicates that a custom implementation in your SAP system has overridden the standard behavior of the CHECK_TRANSITION method. This method is often used in the context of workflow or business process transitions, and the error suggests that the result of this check is not as expected due to the custom code.
  Cause:
  
  Custom Implementation: The most common cause of this error is that a customer-specific implementation (e.g., a user exit, BAdI, or enhancement) has modified the standard logic of the CHECK_TRANSITION method. This can lead to unexpected results or behavior in the application.
  Inconsistent Logic: The custom code may contain logic that conflicts with the standard SAP logic, leading to an unexpected outcome.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned with the custom implementation, causing the transition check to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Custom Code: Check the custom implementation that overrides the CHECK_TRANSITION method. Look for any logic that may be causing the result to be overwritten or modified inappropriately.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code execution to identify where the result is being changed. This can help pinpoint the exact line of code causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation related to the custom implementation to understand its intended behavior and ensure it aligns with the business process.
  Testing: If changes are made to the custom code, thoroughly test the workflow or process to ensure that the issue is resolved and that no new issues are introduced.
  Revert Changes: If the custom implementation is not necessary, consider reverting to the standard implementation to see if that resolves the issue.
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on similar cases or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
