  The SAP error message COOS079 indicates that there is an issue with the split table in the context of production orders or process orders. Specifically, it means that the system is trying to add a material and batch combination to a split table that already contains that combination. This typically occurs in scenarios involving batch management, where the system is managing inventory in batches.
