• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM015 - Shipping point &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM015 Shipping point &1 already exists typically occurs when you are trying to create a new shipping point in the system, but a shipping point with the same identifier already exists. This can happen during the configuration of shipping points in the SAP system, particularly in the context of logistics and supply chain management.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the shipping point you are trying to create already exists in the system with the same identifier (e.g., shipping point code).
  Data Migration: If you are migrating data from another system or performing a mass upload, there may be duplicate entries in the data being imported.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misunderstanding or error in the configuration process, leading to attempts to create a shipping point that is already defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Shipping Points: Before creating a new shipping point, check the existing shipping points in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO for configuration) and looking up shipping points under the logistics or shipping sections.
  
  
  Use a Unique Identifier: If you need to create a new shipping point, ensure that you are using a unique identifier that does not conflict with existing shipping points.
  
  
  Modify Existing Shipping Point: If the shipping point already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing shipping point instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If you are importing data, ensure that your data does not contain duplicates. Clean up the data before performing the import.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on creating and managing shipping points.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OVL2 (for shipping point configuration) to manage shipping points.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to shipping point management.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify shipping points in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after checking for duplicates and ensuring unique identifiers, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
