Overlapping Travel Requests

Question

My system is allowing travel requests to overlap (not sure how it was set by consultant).  In previous threads there are many whose systems will NOT allow overlapping requests.  I want to prevent overlapping requests.  Can someone tell me what the settings are to prevent the overlapping?

Hi Sally
In standard Travel Request uses the trip schema PL and for organizational reasons, it should be possible in the planning phase
to create two travel request that overlap. and as long as there is no expense report linked to a travel request it is possible to create further request that overlaps with the first one. The standard response for TRIP is that a warning will occur when you try to create overlapping trip
You need to check in T code PE03 for TRVPA for feature "WRC" as follows                                                                               
The following values are possible:                                                                               
o   0 = Overlapping times are not possible                                                                               
o   1 = Overlapping times are possible                                                                               
BUT this is only possible of the trip schema 01. For trip schema PL      
it is NOT possible to configure overlapping trip unless by modification.    
And also this is relevant for trips only created in PR04 with this feature as the
value here will depend on whether you also have trip from PR05 , PR02 etc
The only way to prevent this fully is to modify the coding in include
FITP_GET_VALUE, TRIP_WISH_CHECK_OVERLAP and CHECK_OVERLAP.
