  • Show details Hide details
  • 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:

    1. 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.
    2. Locking Issues: Another possible cause could be that the target location is locked by another transaction or user, preventing the operation from being completed.
    3. Incorrect Mapping: If you are using a data migration tool or a data upload process, incorrect mapping of fields can lead to this error.
    4. Data Integrity Rules: The operation may violate data integrity rules defined in the system, such as foreign key constraints.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Data: Review the data in the target location to identify any conflicts. You may need to delete or modify existing records that are causing the collision.
    2. Adjust Data Upload: If you are performing a data upload, ensure that the data being uploaded does not conflict with existing records. This may involve adjusting the data or the upload process.
    3. Transaction Lock: If the error is due to a locking issue, wait for the other transaction to complete or check for any long-running transactions that may be holding locks on the target data.
    4. Review Mapping: If using a data migration tool, double-check the mapping of fields to ensure that they align correctly with the target structure.
    5. Consult Logs: Check the application logs or transaction logs for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on the collision.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
