• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ335 - Vendor & & is already contained in proposal & & ?

  The SAP error message FZ335 indicates that a vendor is already included in a proposal, which typically occurs during the processing of a purchasing document or when trying to create or modify a purchasing proposal. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when creating a purchase order or a request for quotation (RFQ) where the vendor has already been assigned to a proposal.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Vendor Entry: The vendor you are trying to add is already included in the proposal.
  Proposal Locking: The proposal might be locked for editing, preventing changes to the vendor list.
  Incorrect Proposal Reference: The system might be referencing an incorrect or outdated proposal.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Proposals: Review the existing proposals to see if the vendor is already listed. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., ME51N for creating purchase requisitions) and checking the proposal details.
  Remove Duplicate Vendor: If the vendor is indeed already in the proposal and you need to add a different vendor, you may need to remove the existing vendor from the proposal first.
  Edit Proposal: If you have the necessary permissions, you can edit the proposal to make the required changes.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the proposal's status or need to make changes, consult with your colleagues or the purchasing department for guidance.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that the proposal is not locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait until it is released or contact the user who has it locked.
