  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG103 - Transaction & record &: main screen data already transferred ?

    The SAP error message MG103, which states "Transaction & record &: main screen data already transferred," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or goods movements. This error indicates that the system has detected that the data for the transaction you are trying to process has already been transferred, and therefore, it cannot be processed again.

    Causes:

    1. Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the transaction you are trying to execute has already been processed. This could happen if the same goods movement or inventory transaction was entered multiple times.
    2. Session Issues: If there are issues with the session or if the transaction was interrupted, it might lead to the system thinking that the data has already been transferred.
    3. System Configuration: Sometimes, specific configurations or settings in the SAP system can lead to this error, especially if there are custom developments or enhancements in place.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Transaction History: Verify if the transaction has already been processed. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction history in the system (e.g., using transaction codes like MB51 for goods movements).
    2. Avoid Duplicate Entries: Ensure that you are not trying to enter the same transaction again. If you need to make changes, look for options to reverse or adjust the previous transaction instead of creating a new one.
    3. Session Management: If you suspect that the session is causing the issue, try logging out and logging back into the SAP system. This can sometimes clear up session-related issues.
    4. Consult with IT Support: If the problem persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP support team or IT department. They can check for any underlying issues in the system configuration or any custom code that might be causing the error.
    5. Review Custom Code: If there are any custom developments related to the transaction, review them to ensure they are not causing the error.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MB1A (Goods Withdrawal), MB1B (Transfer Posting), and MB1C (Other Goods Receipts) to understand where the error might be occurring.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
