• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_CLEANSING039 - Duplicate: Source BP &1 target BP &2 imported ?

  The SAP error message FKK_CLEANSING039 indicates that there is a duplicate entry issue when trying to import business partner (BP) data. Specifically, it suggests that the source business partner (BP) and the target business partner are being recognized as duplicates during the cleansing or import process.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Business Partners: The error typically arises when the system detects that the source BP already exists in the target system or database, leading to a conflict.
  Data Quality Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data being imported, such as similar names, addresses, or other identifying information that causes the system to flag them as duplicates.
  Configuration Settings: The settings for duplicate checks in the SAP system may be too strict, causing legitimate entries to be flagged as duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Data: Check the source and target business partner data for duplicates. Ensure that the data being imported does not already exist in the target system.
  Data Cleansing: Cleanse the data before import. This may involve merging duplicate entries, correcting inconsistencies, or removing unnecessary duplicates.
  Adjust Duplicate Check Settings: If appropriate, consider adjusting the duplicate check settings in the SAP system to allow for more flexibility in what is considered a duplicate.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) to manually check for existing entries and resolve any duplicates.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidelines on handling duplicate business partners and the cleansing process.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling duplicates.
  Business Partner Management: Familiarize yourself with the business partner management processes in SAP, including how to create, modify, and merge business partners.
