  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP01102 Time series already exist (error number &1) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an attempt to create or modify a time series that already exists in the system. This error can arise during various operations, such as data uploads, planning runs, or when trying to create new planning objects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Time Series: The most common cause of this error is that the time series you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to load data for a time series that has already been created.
  There is a mismatch in the data being uploaded, leading to an attempt to create a time series that is already present.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Load: If the data load process is not correctly configured, it may lead to attempts to create existing time series.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the planning area or the data source that lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Time Series: Before attempting to create a new time series, check if the time series already exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TS to view existing time series.
  Querying the relevant tables in the database to see if the time series is already present.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Time Series: If the time series already exists and you need to update it, consider modifying the existing time series instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  Data Load Configuration: Review the configuration of your data load process. Ensure that the data being uploaded does not include time series that already exist unless you intend to overwrite them.
  
  
  Error Handling in Data Uploads: Implement error handling in your data upload processes to catch and manage this error gracefully.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of APO you are using for any additional insights or updates regarding this error.
