• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB117 - ... Bank master records & & already exist ?

  The SAP error message FB117 indicates that there is an attempt to create a bank master record that already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you try to create a new bank master record with a bank key or bank account number that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The bank master record you are trying to create already exists in the system with the same bank key and bank account number.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a typographical error in the bank key or account number you are trying to enter.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not cleaned up.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction code FI01 (Create Bank Master Record) or FI02 (Change Bank Master Record) to search for existing bank records using the bank key and account number you are trying to create.
  You can also use transaction code SE16N to view the table BNK001 (Bank Master Data) to check for existing records.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: 
  
  Ensure that you are entering the correct bank key and account number. Double-check for any typos or incorrect information.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Record: 
  
  If the bank master record already exists and you need to make changes, use transaction code FI02 to modify the existing record instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Records: 
  
  If you find that there are indeed duplicate records that should not exist, you may need to delete the unnecessary records using transaction code FI03 (Display Bank Master Record) and then delete the unwanted entries.
  
  
  
  Consult with IT or SAP Support: 
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the issue persists, consult with your IT department or SAP support team for further assistance.
