• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1H090 - Check type &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message "1H090 Check type &1 already exists" typically occurs when you are trying to create a new check type in the SAP system, but a check type with the same identifier already exists. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), where check types are used for various financial processes.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Check Type: The primary cause of this error is that the check type you are trying to create already exists in the system. Each check type must have a unique identifier.
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect configuration settings or attempts to replicate existing configurations without proper checks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Check Types:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and check the list of existing check types.
  Use transaction codes like OBB0 (for FI) or OKB9 (for CO) to view existing check types.
  If the check type you are trying to create already exists, you may need to use that existing type instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Check Type:
  
  If you need to change the properties of the existing check type, consider modifying it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier:
  
  If you need to create a new check type, choose a different identifier that does not conflict with existing ones.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to check types for specific guidelines on naming conventions and configurations.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If you are working in a development environment and transporting changes to production, ensure that the transport does not contain duplicate entries.

  OBB0 (Define Check Types for Payment Transactions)
  OKB9 (Define Check Types for Cost Center Accounting)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify check types in the system.
