• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1108 - Table & for message type & exists already in EDIMAP ?

  The SAP error message B1108 indicates that a specific table (denoted by &) for a message type (denoted by &) already exists in the EDIMAP (EDI Mapping) configuration. This error typically arises in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes when there is an attempt to create or modify a mapping that conflicts with an existing entry.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an existing mapping for the specified message type and table in the EDIMAP configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an attempt to create a mapping that is not properly configured or is redundant.
  System Migration or Updates: If the system has been recently migrated or updated, there may be remnants of old configurations that are causing conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings: 
  
  Navigate to the EDIMAP configuration in your SAP system.
  Look for the existing entry for the specified message type and table. You can usually do this through transaction codes like WE30 (for IDoc types) or WE81 (for message types).
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry:
  
  If you find that the mapping already exists and is correct, you may not need to create a new one.
  If the existing mapping is incorrect or outdated, consider modifying or deleting it as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Create Unique Mapping:
  
  If you need to create a new mapping, ensure that it is unique and does not conflict with existing entries. You may need to use a different message type or table name.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on EDI mapping and configuration to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the EDIMAP configuration.
