• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_IU_PROD035 - Product &1 contains non-unique attribute(s) &2 ?

  The SAP error message CRM_IU_PROD035 indicates that there is a problem with the product data in the SAP CRM system. Specifically, it means that the product identified by &1 has non-unique attributes, which are specified by &2. This typically occurs when the system expects certain attributes of a product to be unique, but finds duplicates instead.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Attributes: The product may have attributes that are supposed to be unique (like a product code, SKU, or other identifiers) but are duplicated in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to the same attribute being assigned to multiple products or multiple times to the same product.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the product model or the attribute settings in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it may have brought in duplicates that were not cleaned up.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant tables for the product and its attributes. Look for duplicates in the attributes specified in the error message.
  Correct Data: Once duplicates are identified, correct the data by either removing the duplicates or ensuring that the attributes are unique as required by the system.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the product attributes in the SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the product hierarchy or attribute settings.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation rules to prevent the entry of duplicate attributes in the future. This can include setting up checks during data entry or using batch jobs to clean up existing data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling product attributes and ensuring uniqueness.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CRMD_ORDER, CRMD_ORDERADM_H, and others that may help in managing product data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
