• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM102 - Data for purchase order item &1 / &2 has already been entered ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM102 Data for purchase order item &1 / &2 has already been entered typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is an attempt to enter data for a purchase order item that has already been processed or recorded in the system. This error is often related to the Material Management (MM) module and can arise during various transactions, such as when trying to create or modify purchase orders.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the data for the specified purchase order item (identified by the item number &1 and purchase order number &2) has already been entered into the system. This could happen if the user is trying to enter the same data again or if there is a system process that has already completed the entry.
  
  
  Status of Purchase Order: The purchase order may be in a status that does not allow further changes or entries. For example, if the order is already completed or has been partially delivered, the system may restrict further modifications.
  
  
  Concurrent Processing: If multiple users are trying to process the same purchase order simultaneously, one user's actions may lock the data, leading to this error for others.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Verify if the data for the purchase order item has already been entered. You can do this by checking the purchase order in the system (using transaction codes like ME23N for display) to see if the information is already present.
  
  
  Review Purchase Order Status: Check the status of the purchase order. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed, closed), you may need to take appropriate actions, such as creating a new purchase order or modifying the existing one if allowed.
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Processing: Ensure that you are not trying to enter the same data multiple times. If you are unsure, consult with your team or check the system logs to see if another user has already processed the entry.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists and you believe it is not due to a duplicate entry or status issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to navigate and check the status of purchase orders.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the purchase order.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide specific fixes or patches that address known issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
