• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL181 - EFF &1 already exists in DB, but marked as new in transmission ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL181 EFF &1 already exists in DB, but marked as new in transmission typically indicates a data inconsistency issue during the data transmission process. This error occurs when the system detects that a record with the same identifier (in this case, &1 represents the identifier of the record) already exists in the database, but the system is trying to insert it as a new record.
  Cause:
  
  Data Duplication: The record you are trying to insert already exists in the database, which leads to a conflict.
  Incorrect Data Transmission: The data being transmitted may not be correctly synchronized with the database, leading to discrepancies.
  Timing Issues: If multiple processes are trying to insert or update the same record simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the data transmission process or the application logic that handles the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before attempting to insert a new record, check the database to see if a record with the same identifier already exists. If it does, you may need to update the existing record instead of trying to insert a new one.
  
  
  Data Synchronization: Ensure that the data being transmitted is synchronized with the database. This may involve checking the source of the data and ensuring that it reflects the current state of the database.
  
  
  Review Transmission Logic: Review the logic that handles the data transmission to ensure that it correctly identifies whether a record should be inserted or updated.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data transmission process to gracefully handle situations where a record already exists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific module or function you are working with for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may have additional insights or patches available for your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to investigate the existing records in the database.
  Logs and Traces: Check application logs (transaction SLG1) or system logs for more detailed error messages that could provide additional context.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error message or similar issues.
