• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES184 - Resource &1 has already been transferred from R/3 with a different ID ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES184 indicates that there is a conflict with the resource ID when transferring data from the R/3 system to the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. Specifically, it means that a resource with the same name has already been transferred to APO, but it has a different ID than the one currently being transferred.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Resource IDs: The resource you are trying to transfer from R/3 has the same name as an existing resource in APO, but the IDs do not match.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the R/3 and APO systems, possibly due to previous transfers or manual changes.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in either R/3 or APO may not be aligned, leading to mismatches in resource identification.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Resources: 
  
  Go to the APO system and check the existing resources to see if a resource with the same name already exists. You can do this using transaction /SAPAPO/RES01 (Resource Overview).
  
  
  
  Identify the Conflict:
  
  Compare the IDs of the existing resource and the one you are trying to transfer. If they are indeed different, you will need to decide how to proceed.
  
  
  
  Rename or Delete:
  
  If the existing resource is no longer needed, you can delete it from APO (if it is not being used in any planning scenarios).
  If you need to keep both resources, consider renaming the new resource in R/3 before transferring it again.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transfer Settings:
  
  Review the settings in the R/3 system for resource transfer to ensure that they are correctly configured to avoid such conflicts in the future.
  
  
  
  Re-transfer the Resource:
  
  After resolving the conflict, attempt to transfer the resource again from R/3 to APO.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resource transfer issues.
