• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFGCCR026 - All vendors with the same DUNS/DUNS4 updated ?

  The SAP error message FMFGCCR026 indicates that there is an issue related to vendor data management, specifically concerning the DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) or DUNS4 numbers. This error typically arises when multiple vendors in the system share the same DUNS or DUNS4 number, which can lead to data integrity issues and confusion in vendor management.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate DUNS/DUNS4 Numbers: The primary cause of this error is that multiple vendor records in the SAP system are associated with the same DUNS or DUNS4 number. This can happen due to data entry errors, system migrations, or incorrect vendor creation processes.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that each vendor is uniquely identifiable. Sharing DUNS numbers violates these rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicate Vendors: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to query the vendor master data table (e.g., LFA1) and identify all vendors that share the same DUNS/DUNS4 number.
  Review Vendor Records: Once duplicates are identified, review the vendor records to determine which ones are valid and which may need to be merged or deleted.
  Merge or Delete Duplicates: 
  
  If two or more vendors are indeed the same entity, consider merging them into a single vendor record. This may involve transferring any relevant transactions or data from the duplicate records to the primary vendor.
  If a vendor is no longer active or valid, you may choose to delete or deactivate the duplicate records.
  
  
  Update DUNS/DUNS4 Numbers: If the vendors are distinct entities but mistakenly share the same DUNS number, update the DUNS/DUNS4 numbers for the affected vendors to ensure uniqueness.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks during vendor creation to prevent future occurrences of duplicate DUNS/DUNS4 numbers.
