• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EIT_IMPORT064 - Description &1&2 is not unique. ?

  The SAP error message EIT_IMPORT064 with the description "&1&2 is not unique" typically occurs during the import of data or during the execution of a transaction where the system expects a unique value but finds duplicates. This can happen in various contexts, such as during data uploads, configuration imports, or when processing certain transactions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the system has encountered duplicate entries for a field that is expected to be unique. This could be due to:
  
  Data being imported from a file or another system that contains duplicates.
  Configuration settings that allow for non-unique entries when they should be unique.
  Manual data entry errors where the same value has been entered multiple times.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration of the system may not enforce uniqueness where it should, leading to conflicts when data is processed.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: If the database has integrity issues, such as missing primary keys or constraints, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates: 
  
  Check the data being imported or processed to identify any duplicate entries. This can often be done using SQL queries or data analysis tools.
  If the error message provides specific identifiers (like IDs or names), use those to locate the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Remove or Modify Duplicates: 
  
  Once duplicates are identified, you can either remove them or modify them to ensure that all entries are unique.
  If the duplicates are valid and should coexist, consider changing the configuration to allow for multiple entries, if applicable.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the data or transaction in question. Ensure that the uniqueness constraints are correctly set up.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to adjust the settings.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  Implement data validation checks before importing data into the system to catch duplicates early in the process.

  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific module or transaction you are working with for additional guidance.
