• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J190 - An active insurance contract from & exists ?

  The SAP error message 9J190, which states "An active insurance contract from & exists," typically occurs in the context of insurance contract management within the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an attempt to perform an action (such as creating or modifying a contract) that is not allowed because there is already an active insurance contract associated with the specified entity (e.g., a customer or policyholder).
  Cause:
  
  Existing Active Contract: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an active insurance contract for the specified entity. The system does not allow the creation of a new contract or modification of an existing one if there is an active contract that overlaps in terms of coverage or validity.
  Data Entry Error: Sometimes, the error may arise from incorrect data entry, where the system mistakenly identifies an active contract due to incorrect parameters or filters.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or business rules set up in the SAP system that prevent the creation of multiple active contracts for the same entity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Contracts: Review the existing insurance contracts for the specified entity. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction codes like IP01 for creating insurance policies or IP02 for changing them) and checking if there is indeed an active contract.
  Modify or Cancel Existing Contract: If you find that there is an active contract that is no longer needed, you may need to modify or cancel it before proceeding with the new contract creation.
  Consult with Business Rules: If the existing contract is valid and should remain active, consult with your business rules or policies to determine if the new contract can be created under different conditions (e.g., different coverage, terms, etc.).
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered is correct and does not inadvertently reference an existing contract. Double-check the parameters and filters used during the contract creation process.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Help Portal for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing insurance contracts, such as IP01, IP02, IP03, etc.
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to insurance contract management for detailed guidelines and best practices.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to create or modify insurance contracts in the system, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
