• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/APOGRID085 - {CreateRow} Line: & / Pos: & already exists ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/APOGRID085 {CreateRow} Line: & / Pos: & already exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an attempt to create a new row in a planning table (like a grid) that already has an entry for the specified line and position. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data entry, planning, or when trying to save changes to a planning book.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the line and position combination you are trying to create already exists in the planning table. This could be due to:
  
  Manual data entry where the user inadvertently tries to add a duplicate.
  A data upload or integration process that attempts to insert existing records.
  A planning run that tries to create a new entry without checking for existing ones.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or configuration that lead to this error, especially if there have been recent changes to the planning book or data structures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Before attempting to create a new row, check the planning table to see if the line and position already exist. If they do, you may need to update the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Modify Data Entry Process: If this error occurs frequently, consider modifying the data entry process to include checks for existing entries before attempting to create new ones.
  
  
  Data Upload Validation: If the error arises during a data upload, ensure that the upload process includes validation to prevent duplicates from being inserted.
  
  
  Review Planning Book Configuration: Check the configuration of the planning book and the data model to ensure that there are no issues that could lead to this error. This may involve reviewing the key figures, characteristics, and planning levels.
  
  
  Error Handling in Code: If you are working with custom code or enhancements, ensure that proper error handling is in place to manage situations where duplicates might occur.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of APO you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
