• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP626 - Alias &1 exists more than once for business partner &2 ?

  The SAP error message FSBP626 indicates that there is a duplicate alias for a business partner in the system. This typically occurs when the same alias is assigned to multiple business partners, which violates the uniqueness constraint for aliases in the business partner master data.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Alias Assignment: The same alias (e.g., a unique identifier like a customer number, vendor number, or any other identifier) has been assigned to more than one business partner.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there has been a bulk upload of business partner data, it is possible that duplicates were introduced.
  Manual Entry Errors: Users may have manually entered the same alias for different business partners without realizing it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or relevant reports to identify which business partners are using the same alias. You can run a query to check for duplicates in the alias field.
  Correct the Data:
  
  Change the Alias: Modify one of the business partners to use a different alias that is unique.
  Delete the Duplicate: If one of the business partners is no longer needed, consider deleting it or merging it with the other.
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks during data entry or migration processes to prevent duplicates from being created in the future.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps related to your version of SAP.
