• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ855 - Request &1 &2 already exists ?

  The SAP error message FQ855 ("Request &1 &2 already exists") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly when dealing with document requests or postings. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a request (such as a payment request or a document) that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Request: The most common cause of this error is that a request with the same identifier (e.g., request number) already exists in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The user inadvertently tries to create a request that has already been processed.
  There is a system or user error that leads to the same request being submitted multiple times.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: Sometimes, inconsistencies in the database or issues with data synchronization can lead to the system believing that a request already exists.
  
  
  Batch Processing: If batch jobs are running that create requests, they might inadvertently create duplicates if not properly managed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Requests: Before creating a new request, check the existing requests in the system to ensure that the request you are trying to create does not already exist. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to view existing requests.
  
  
  
  Use Unique Identifiers: Ensure that the identifiers used for requests are unique. If you are generating request numbers programmatically, implement checks to avoid duplicates.
  
  
  Error Handling in Batch Jobs: If the error occurs during batch processing, review the logic in the batch job to ensure it handles existing requests appropriately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or process you are working with for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide patches or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that can help you manage requests and view existing data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the error message FQ855.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create requests, as sometimes authorization issues can lead to unexpected errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FQ855 error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
