• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_GENERAL112 - Duplicate translation values; data has not been saved ?

  The SAP error message DMC_GENERAL112 indicates that there are duplicate translation values in the data you are trying to save, which prevents the data from being saved successfully. This error typically occurs in the context of data management and translation within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with master data or configuration settings that require multilingual support.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple entries for the same translation value in the system. This can happen if the same text or description is entered for different languages or contexts, leading to conflicts.
  Data Import Issues: If you are importing data from an external source, the source data may contain duplicates that are not handled correctly during the import process.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the data management tools or translation settings can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Review the data you are trying to save and identify any duplicate translation values. This may involve checking the relevant tables or data entries in the SAP system.
  Remove or Modify Duplicates: Once you have identified the duplicates, you can either remove them or modify them to ensure that each translation value is unique. This may involve changing the text or description to differentiate them.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks before saving data to ensure that no duplicates exist. This can be done through custom validation rules or by using built-in SAP tools.
  Check Import Files: If you are importing data, ensure that the source files do not contain duplicates. Clean the data before importing it into the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidelines on handling translation values and managing multilingual data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to data management and translation, such as SE63 (Translation) or DMC (Data Management Cockpit).
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify translation values in the system, as restrictions may also lead to errors when saving data.
