• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL100 - Part marked as new is rejected as it already exists in DB ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL100 indicates that a part marked as new is being rejected because it already exists in the database. This error typically occurs in the context of material management or inventory management processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with parts or materials that are being added or updated in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the part number or material ID you are trying to create or update already exists in the database. This can happen if:
  
  The part was previously created but not properly flagged as active or usable.
  There was an attempt to create a new part with the same identifier as an existing one.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were bulk uploads, it’s possible that duplicates were introduced.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, configuration settings in the system may lead to unexpected behavior regarding how parts are identified and managed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check if the part already exists in the database.
  Search for the part using the material number or description to confirm its existence.
  
  
  
  Modify or Update Existing Part: 
  
  If the part already exists and you need to make changes, use the appropriate transaction to update the existing record instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  
  Use Unique Identifiers: 
  
  Ensure that any new parts being created have unique identifiers that do not conflict with existing records.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup: 
  
  If duplicates are found, consider cleaning up the database by removing or archiving unnecessary records.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling material records and avoiding duplicates.
  
  
  
  Error Handling in Uploads: 
  
  If this error occurs during a data upload, ensure that your upload files are validated for duplicates before processing.
