• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_MKTPL_DEFAULTS009 - Duplicate buying pattern (&) ?

  The SAP error message CRM_MKTPL_DEFAULTS009 indicates that there is a duplicate buying pattern in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a marketing plan or a similar object that involves buying patterns, and the system detects that the buying pattern you are trying to enter already exists.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the buying pattern you are trying to create already exists in the system. This could be due to a previous entry that was not properly identified or due to a data import that included duplicates.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not cleaned up before the migration.

  Modify or Delete Duplicate: 
  
  If you find that the buying pattern already exists and is valid, you may need to modify your entry to avoid duplication.
  If the existing buying pattern is not needed, consider deleting it if it is appropriate to do so.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup: 
  
  If duplicates are found due to data migration, perform a data cleanup to remove or consolidate duplicate entries.
