• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL146 - DST &1 already exists in DB, but marked as new in transmission ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL146 DST &1 already exists in DB, but marked as new in transmission typically indicates a conflict between the data being transmitted and the existing data in the database. This error arises when the system attempts to insert a new record into the database, but a record with the same identifier (in this case, &1 represents the identifier of the data object) already exists.
  Cause:
  
  Data Conflict: The system is trying to insert a new entry that has the same key or identifier as an existing entry in the database.
  Transmission Issues: There may be issues with the data transmission process, where the system is incorrectly marking an existing record as new.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the data being sent to the database, possibly due to a previous failed transaction or an error in the data preparation process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Verify if the record with the identifier &1 already exists in the database. You can do this by querying the database or using transaction codes in SAP to view the relevant data.
  Correct Data Transmission: Ensure that the data being transmitted is accurate and does not include records that already exist unless they are meant to be updated. If the record is meant to be updated, ensure that the update logic is correctly implemented.
  Review Transmission Logic: If you are using a custom program or interface to transmit data, review the logic to ensure that it correctly handles existing records. You may need to modify the program to check for existing records before attempting to insert new ones.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data transmission process to catch such conflicts and handle them gracefully, either by updating the existing record or skipping the insertion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific module or function you are working with for additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), or SE80 (Object Navigator) to investigate the database tables and existing records.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, consider debugging the program or process that is generating this error to identify the root cause.
