PT131 - Details

• The SAP error message PT131 indicates that a "Virtual Machine Identifier (VMIT) is already active for user &." This typically occurs in the context of time management or personnel administration when a user is trying to perform an action that requires a unique VMIT, but one is already in use for that user.
  
  Cause:
  
  Active Session: The user is already logged into a session that is using the VMIT.
  Duplicate Entry: There may be a duplicate entry in the system for the same user and VMIT.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to handle multiple sessions for the same user properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if the user is already logged in or has an active session. If so, log out of the existing session before trying again.
  End Existing Sessions: If the user is not actively using the session, an administrator may need to terminate the existing session from the SAP system.
