• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_RELEASE_CHECK039 - Duplicate Release Rule determination fields combination ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_RELEASE_CHECK039 indicates that there is a duplicate combination of release rule determination fields in the configuration for release strategies. This typically occurs in the context of purchasing documents, such as purchase requisitions or purchase orders, where release strategies are used to control the approval process.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system detects that there are multiple release strategies defined with the same combination of fields that are used for determining the release strategy. This can happen if:
  
  You have defined multiple release strategies that share the same criteria (e.g., document type, value limits, etc.).
  There are overlapping conditions in the release strategy configuration that lead to ambiguity in determining which strategy should be applied.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Release Strategy Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).

  Modify or Delete Duplicates:
  
  If you find duplicate entries, you can either modify them to ensure they have unique combinations or delete the unnecessary duplicates.
  Make sure to test the changes in a development or quality environment before applying them to production.
  
  
  
  Check Release Group and Release Codes:
  
  Ensure that the release groups and release codes associated with the strategies are also correctly configured and do not lead to conflicts.
