• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_API_SUBST022 - &1: Language &2 exists several times ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_API_SUBST022 indicates that there is a problem with the language settings in the system. Specifically, the message states that a particular language exists multiple times in the system, which can lead to inconsistencies or errors when trying to process language-specific data.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Language Entries: The language in question has been defined multiple times in the system, which can happen due to incorrect configuration or data import processes.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the language settings across different tables or configurations, leading to the system being unable to determine which entry to use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Language Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to General Settings > Set Countries > Define Languages.
  Check if the language in question is listed multiple times. If so, you will need to remove the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Ensure that any custom settings or configurations that involve language settings do not have duplicates.
  Check any custom development or enhancements that might be creating duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Database Check:
  
  If you have access to the database, you can run a query to check for duplicate entries in the relevant tables (e.g., T002 for languages).
  Use a SQL query to identify duplicates:
  SELECT SPRAS, COUNT(*)
  FROM T002
  GROUP BY SPRAS
  HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
  
  
  
  
  Correct Data:
  
  If duplicates are found, you will need to correct the data by removing or consolidating the duplicate entries.
  Ensure that you have a backup before making any changes to the database.
