• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES020 - Basic run (data import) has already been executed for &1 ?

  The SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES020 indicates that a basic run (data import) has already been executed for the specified object (denoted by &1). This error typically occurs in the context of data import processes, such as when using the SAP Advanced Data Migration or SAP Data Services.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to execute a data import process that has already been completed for the specified object. This can happen if:
  
  The import process was run previously and did not complete successfully, but the system still recognizes it as executed.
  There is an attempt to re-run the import without resetting or clearing the previous execution status.
  There may be a configuration or setup issue that prevents the system from recognizing the need for a new import.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Execution Status:
  
  Verify the execution status of the previous import run for the specified object. You can do this by checking the logs or monitoring tools in SAP.
  
  
  
  Reset the Import Process:
  
  If the previous import run was incomplete or erroneous, you may need to reset or clear the execution status. This can often be done through the transaction code related to the data import process (e.g., AFWGO or similar).
  
  
  
  Re-run the Import:
  
  After resetting the status, attempt to re-run the data import process.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
