37063 - Collision at target location. Operation not performed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 37 - Screen Painter

• Message number: 063

• Message text: Collision at target location. Operation not performed

What causes this issue?

When moving or copying a block consisting of one or more elements, the
target block must be the same size as the selected block and empty.
If the block contains elements with the attribute "Permanently visible
possible entries pushbutton", there must be enough space in the target
area to display the possible entries icon. At the same time, you should
ensure that there is sufficient space for the possible entries icons of
other elements.
In this case, there is not enough space, or the right or lower edge has
been exceeded.

How to fix this error?

Place the cursor so that the target position is blank. If this is not
possible, you can cut the selected block and paste it into another
screen. You can leave the select mode with F3, even if no block was
moved or copied.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 37063 - Collision at target location. Operation not performed ?

  The SAP error message "37063 Collision at target location. Operation not performed" typically occurs during data transfer or when trying to perform an operation that conflicts with existing data in the target location. This error is often seen in contexts such as data uploads, migrations, or when working with certain transactions in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Data Conflict: The error usually indicates that there is already existing data at the target location that conflicts with the data you are trying to insert or update. This could be due to primary key violations, unique constraints, or other integrity constraints in the database.

  Review Mapping: If using a data migration tool, double-check the mapping of fields to ensure that they align correctly with the target structure.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs or transaction logs for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on the collision.
