• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL133 - Supplier record marked as new is rejected as it already exists in DB ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL133 indicates that there is an attempt to create a new supplier record in the database, but the system has identified that a record with the same key already exists. This typically occurs during the process of creating or updating supplier data in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the supplier record you are trying to create already exists in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Manual entry of the supplier data that matches an existing record.
  Data migration or import processes that inadvertently include existing records.
  A previous transaction that was not completed properly, leaving a record in a pending state.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data: Sometimes, the data being submitted may not be correctly formatted or may not meet the validation rules set in the system, leading to the system treating it as a duplicate.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before attempting to create a new supplier record, check the database for existing records that may match the supplier data you are trying to enter. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like MK01 (Create Vendor) or BP (Business Partner) to search for existing suppliers.
  Querying the database directly if you have access.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Record: If you find that the supplier already exists, consider updating the existing record instead of creating a new one. Use the appropriate transaction code (e.g., MK02 for modifying a vendor).
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered is correct and does not inadvertently match an existing record. Validate the fields such as supplier number, name, and other identifiers.
  
  
  Error Handling in Data Migration: If this error arises during a data migration process, ensure that your migration scripts or tools are set up to handle duplicates appropriately. Implement checks to prevent the insertion of existing records.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to supplier data management and error handling.
