• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K/035 - Function not possible because from/to values already exist ?

  The SAP error message K/035 ("Function not possible because from/to values already exist") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when you are trying to create or modify a range of values (like cost elements, cost centers, or internal orders) that already have existing entries in the system.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Entries: You are attempting to create a new entry that overlaps with existing entries in the system. For example, if you are trying to define a range of cost elements or cost centers, and the range you are trying to create already exists.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The data you are entering may not be valid or may conflict with existing data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that prevent the system from allowing the new entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K/035 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries in the relevant configuration or master data tables to see if the range you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like KS01 for cost centers, KO01 for internal orders, etc.) and checking the existing data.
  
  
  Modify Existing Entries: If you find that the range already exists, you may need to modify or delete the existing entries instead of trying to create new ones.
  
  
  Adjust Your Input: Ensure that the values you are entering do not overlap with existing values. If you are trying to create a range, make sure that the "from" and "to" values are unique and do not conflict with existing ranges.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific guidance on the transaction you are working with, as there may be additional constraints or requirements.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the system settings are correct and that there are no restrictions preventing the creation of new entries.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KS01 (Create Cost Center), KO01 (Create Internal Order), etc.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to error K/035 in the SAP Support Portal for any patches or updates that may address this issue.
