• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPI017 - Trip could not be written to rejection table ?

  The SAP error message WPI017: "Trip could not be written to rejection table" typically occurs in the context of SAP Travel Management (TRIP) or related modules where trip data is processed and sometimes rejected due to inconsistencies or errors.
  
  Cause
  
  The system attempts to write a trip record to the rejection table (used to store trip data that failed validation or processing).
  The write operation fails because of one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Database issues: The rejection table might be locked, missing, or have inconsistent data.
  Authorization problems: The user or process does not have the necessary authorization to write to the rejection table.
  Data inconsistencies: The trip data contains invalid or incomplete information that prevents proper logging.
  Configuration errors: The rejection table or related customizing settings are not properly maintained.
  Technical issues: Short dumps, buffer problems, or transport inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Table Status:
  
  Verify that the rejection table (often TRIP_REJ or a similar custom table) exists and is not locked.
  Use transaction SE11 or SE16 to check the table structure and contents.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user or background job has the required authorizations to write to the rejection table.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to analyze missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Analyze Trip Data:
  
  Review the trip data that caused the rejection.
  Look for missing mandatory fields or invalid data formats.
  Correct the data if possible and reprocess.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Configuration:
  
  Verify the settings in Travel Management customizing (transaction SPRO ? Travel Management).
  Ensure the rejection handling is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check for Short Dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for any runtime errors related to this issue.
  Analyze and fix any ABAP errors or memory issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have development access, debug the program or function module that writes to the rejection table to identify the exact failure point.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes using the message number or keywords.
  If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing detailed logs and dumps.
