  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MAT367 indicates that there is a duplicate entry in the table MATLWHX for a specific material, supply chain unit (SCU), and entitled (which usually refers to a specific entitlement or allocation). This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to create or update a record that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an attempt to insert a new entry into the MATLWHX table that already has an existing entry with the same material number (&1), supply chain unit (&2), and entitlement (&3). This can happen due to:
  
  Data Duplication: The data being processed may have been duplicated in the source system or during data transfer.

  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration or setup of the APO system that leads to incorrect data handling.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the contents of the MATLWHX table. Look for existing entries with the same material number, SCU, and entitlement to confirm the duplication.

  Review Data Load Processes: If this error occurs during a data load (e.g., from a legacy system or during a batch job), review the data extraction and loading processes to ensure that they are not introducing duplicates.
