• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISH_BP003 - Preferred type of food &1 has already been entered ?

  The SAP error message ISH_BP003, which states "Preferred type of food &1 has already been entered," typically occurs in the context of managing patient data in the SAP IS-H (Industry Solution for Healthcare) module. This error indicates that there is an attempt to enter a preferred type of food for a patient that has already been recorded in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The primary cause of this error is that the preferred type of food for the patient has already been entered in the system. SAP IS-H does not allow duplicate entries for certain fields to maintain data integrity.

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Before entering a new preferred type of food, check the existing entries for the patient. You can do this by navigating to the patient's profile and reviewing their dietary preferences.
  Modify Existing Entry: If the preferred type of food needs to be updated or changed, modify the existing entry instead of trying to add a new one. This can usually be done through the same interface where you would enter a new preference.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure how to proceed, refer to the SAP IS-H documentation or user manuals for guidance on managing patient dietary preferences.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists or if you believe it is a system error, contact your SAP support team or system administrator for further assistance.
