• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_BP3000_10_MSGC013 - Entries with the same input already exist ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_BP3000_10_MSGC013 indicates that there are duplicate entries in the system for the input data you are trying to process. This typically occurs in the context of Business Partner (BP) data management, where the system is designed to prevent the creation of duplicate business partner records.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to create or modify a business partner record that has the same key attributes (like name, address, or identification numbers) as an existing record. The system checks for duplicates based on specific criteria defined in the configuration, and if it finds a match, it raises this error to prevent data inconsistency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Entries:
  
  Use the transaction code BP to access the Business Partner master data.
  Search for existing business partners using the same criteria (e.g., name, address, or identification number) that you are trying to enter.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Entry:
  
  If you find an existing business partner that matches your input, consider modifying that entry instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Adjust Input Data:
  
  If you need to create a new business partner, modify the input data slightly to ensure it does not match any existing records. This could involve changing the name, address, or other identifying information.
  
  
  
  Review Duplicate Check Settings:
  
  If you believe the duplicate check is too strict or not configured correctly, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the duplicate check settings in the system. This may involve adjusting the criteria used for identifying duplicates.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes for Analysis:
  
  You can use transaction codes like BP or SE16N to analyze the existing records in the relevant tables (e.g., BUT000 for general data, BUT020 for address data) to identify duplicates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Business Partner Configuration: Understanding how business partner data is configured in your SAP system can help you manage duplicates effectively. This includes knowing which fields are used for duplicate checks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message or provide updates on duplicate handling.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on Business Partner management for best practices on data entry and maintenance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage your business partner data effectively.
