• The SAP error message 61034, which states "Purchase requisition & & already exists," typically occurs when you attempt to create a purchase requisition (PR) that has the same number as an existing one. This can happen due to various reasons, such as duplicate entries or system errors.

  System Configuration: There may be issues with the number range configuration for purchase requisitions, leading to conflicts.

  Check Existing Purchase Requisitions:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) to search for the existing requisition using the number or other relevant criteria.
  If you find the requisition, you can either modify it or use it as needed instead of creating a new one.
