• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE734 - Record already exists ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE734: Record already exists typically occurs in the context of the Floorplan Manager (FPM) or when working with applications that involve data manipulation, such as creating or updating records in a database. This error indicates that an attempt was made to insert a record that already exists in the database, violating a unique constraint.
  Causes:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the record you are trying to create already exists in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Manual entry of the same data.
  A process that is trying to insert the same record multiple times.
  Data synchronization issues between systems.
  
  
  
  Unique Constraints: The database table may have unique constraints defined on certain fields, and the new record violates these constraints.
  
  
  Application Logic: There may be issues in the application logic that lead to attempts to create duplicate records.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before attempting to create a new record, check if a record with the same key or unique fields already exists in the database. You can do this by querying the database.
  
  
  Modify the Input Data: If you find that the record already exists, consider modifying the input data to create a new unique record instead of trying to insert a duplicate.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to gracefully manage situations where a duplicate record is detected. This could involve notifying the user or logging the error for further investigation.
  
  
  Review Application Logic: If the error occurs frequently, review the application logic to ensure that it correctly handles record creation and avoids unnecessary duplicate insertions.
  
  
  Database Constraints: If the unique constraint is not necessary, consider reviewing the database schema to determine if the constraint can be modified or removed. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data integrity issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance related to the application or module you are working with.
