  The SAP error message OE426 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the document flow related to the delivery items in the LIPS table. Specifically, it means that there are multiple entries in the LIPS table for the same delivery item (LIEFN) and date (ERDAT), which is not expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are duplicate entries in the LIPS table for the same delivery number (LIEFN) and creation date (ERDAT). This can happen due to:
  
  Data inconsistencies or corruption.
  Errors during data migration or system upgrades.
  Manual entries or incorrect processing of deliveries.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may lead to unexpected behavior, causing multiple entries to be created.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction SE16 or SE11 to access the LIPS table and check for duplicate entries based on the delivery number (LIEFN) and creation date (ERDAT).
  You can run a query to find duplicates, for example:
  SELECT LIEFN, ERDAT, COUNT(*)
  FROM LIPS
  GROUP BY LIEFN, ERDAT
  HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
  
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If duplicates are found, you may need to delete the extra entries. However, be cautious and ensure that you have a backup of the data before making any deletions.
  You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to safely remove the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Check Document Flow:
  
  Investigate the document flow related to the delivery to ensure that all related documents (like sales orders, invoices, etc.) are correctly processed and do not have inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to delivery processing to ensure that they are set up correctly and do not allow for duplicate entries.

  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
