  The SAP error message PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE098 indicates that there is an issue with creating a commitment for a trip because the trip status is currently set to 'open'.

  Change Trip Status: If the trip is indeed complete, you may need to change its status to 'completed' or 'approved'. This can usually be done through the travel management module in SAP.
  Review Trip Details: Check the trip details for any missing or incorrect information. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  User Permissions: Verify that the user attempting to create the commitment has the necessary permissions. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust the user roles.
