• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTSK035 - Mode &1 already exists in the system ?

  The SAP error message LTSK035 indicates that a mode (in this case, a transportation mode) already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create or modify a transportation mode that has already been defined in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to create a transportation mode with a key (name) that is already in use. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new mode with the same identifier as an existing one.
  There is a duplicate entry in the configuration or master data.
  The system is not properly recognizing the existing mode due to inconsistencies or issues in the database.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Modes:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction code (e.g., SPRO for configuration) and navigate to the section where transportation modes are defined.
  Look for the mode you are trying to create and verify if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete:
  
  If the mode already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
  If the existing mode is no longer needed, you may delete it (ensure that it is not in use by any processes).
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier:
  
  If you need to create a new mode, choose a different identifier that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  If you suspect that there might be inconsistencies in the database, you can run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the database is in a healthy state.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing transportation modes.
