• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R5085 - Street already exists with key &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message R5085, which states "Street already exists with key &1 &2," typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a street address in the SAP system, and the system detects that a street with the same key already exists in the database. The key usually consists of a combination of fields such as the street name and the postal code or other identifying information.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the street you are trying to enter already exists in the system. This could be due to a previous entry that was not properly identified or cleaned up.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not caught during the migration process.
  Incorrect Input: Sometimes, the error can occur due to incorrect or incomplete input data that leads the system to believe that the street already exists.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Before creating a new street entry, check the existing records in the system to see if the street already exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant database tables (e.g., T005 for addresses).
  Modify Existing Entry: If the street already exists and you need to make changes, consider updating the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
  Data Cleanup: If you find duplicate entries, you may need to clean up the data by removing or merging duplicates, ensuring that the data integrity is maintained.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific guidelines on handling address data and duplicates.
  Error Handling in Custom Programs: If this error arises from a custom program or enhancement, review the logic to ensure it properly checks for existing entries before attempting to create new ones.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE16, SE11, or BP (Business Partner) for managing address data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to address management and this specific error message.
  Data Governance: Implement data governance practices to prevent duplicate entries in the future, such as validation checks during data entry or regular audits of address data.
