• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MH068 - Till receipt text / label text already existed ?

  The SAP error message MH068, which states "Till receipt text / label text already existed," typically occurs in the context of managing receipt texts or label texts in the SAP system, particularly in the Retail or Point of Sale (POS) modules. This error indicates that the system is trying to create or modify a receipt or label text that already exists in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the text or label you are trying to create already exists in the system. SAP does not allow duplicate entries for receipt texts or label texts.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration settings in the SAP system that are causing the system to incorrectly identify existing texts.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not properly handled during the migration process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Texts: Before creating a new receipt or label text, check the existing texts in the system to ensure that the text you want to create does not already exist. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction code (e.g., using the transaction code for managing receipt texts).
  
  
  Modify Existing Text: If the text already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing text instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Entries: If you find that there are indeed duplicates that are not needed, you can delete the unnecessary entries from the system.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you suspect that the issue is related to configuration, review the settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are set up correctly for managing receipt and label texts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing receipt texts and label texts in your version of SAP.
