• The SAP error message PTRA_DIALOGUE026 indicates that you are trying to print trips that are in a 'Draft' status. In SAP, trips must be in a specific status (usually 'Completed' or 'Approved') to be eligible for printing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  
  Cause:
  
  The trips you are attempting to print are still in 'Draft' status. This means they have not been finalized or approved, and therefore, the system does not allow printing until they are in a valid status.

  Change the Status of the Trip:
  
  Navigate to the trip in question and change its status from 'Draft' to 'Completed' or 'Approved'. This typically involves going through the necessary approval workflow or finalizing the trip details.
