• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_MESSAGES180 - Insured object & already exists at intended insertion point ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_MESSAGES180 typically indicates that there is an attempt to insert an insured object (such as an insurance policy or coverage) into a system where an object with the same identifier or characteristics already exists at the intended insertion point. This can occur in various SAP modules related to insurance, such as SAP for Insurance or SAP Policy Management.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the insured object you are trying to insert already exists in the system. This could be due to a previous entry that was not properly deleted or a duplicate entry attempt.
  Incorrect Data: There may be an issue with the data being entered, such as incorrect identifiers or parameters that lead the system to believe that the object already exists.
  System Configuration: There might be configuration settings in the SAP system that prevent the insertion of objects that are deemed duplicates based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Before attempting to insert the insured object, check the existing records in the system to confirm whether the object already exists. You can use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant database tables.
  Modify or Delete Existing Object: If you find that the object already exists and it is valid, consider modifying it instead of inserting a new one. If the existing object is no longer needed, you may delete it if your business process allows for that.
  Review Input Data: Ensure that the data you are trying to insert is correct and does not conflict with existing records. Validate all fields and identifiers.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with to understand the rules around object insertion.
  Check Configuration: If you have access, review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the insertion of new objects.
