  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CMDS_EDIBAPI031 indicates that there is an issue with the delivery schedule number in the IDoc (Intermediate Document) processing. Specifically, the error states that the delivery schedule number being processed is identical to an old delivery schedule number, which typically means that the system is trying to process a duplicate or outdated entry.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate IDoc: The IDoc being processed may be a duplicate of a previously processed IDoc, which can happen due to network issues, retries, or incorrect configurations.
  Outdated Data: The delivery schedule number in the IDoc may refer to a delivery schedule that has already been processed or is no longer valid.

  Identify Duplicates: If you find that the IDoc is indeed a duplicate, you may need to identify the source of the duplicate and prevent it from being sent again.
  Update Delivery Schedule: If the delivery schedule number is outdated, ensure that the IDoc is updated with the correct delivery schedule number before reprocessing.
  Reprocess IDoc: If the IDoc is valid and should be processed, you can try to reprocess it using transaction BD87 or by using the appropriate function module.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for IDoc processing and ensure that there are no issues with the mapping or processing logic that could lead to duplicates.
