SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S_DX_BAPI - Messages for MDTB Workbench (Mass Data Transfer Using BAPIs)

• Message number: 058

• Message text: The input file is not deleted even after successful transfer

What causes this issue?

Although this system is flagged as the 'production' system, the input
file is not deleted after the data has been loaded.
As the file still exists, the data can be reloaded into the R/3 System.
This may result in inconsistencies when assigning internal numbers.
Error handling is not supported because when this task is restarted,
the input file, not the error file, is read and processed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

We recommend you use the setting 'Delete file' in production systems.
If you do not want to, you should make sure that the file data is not
loaded more than once into R/3.
