• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC064 - GUIDs of ext. procurement relationship differ (BAPI: &1, database: &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC064 GUIDs of ext. procurement relationship differ (BAPI: &1, database: &2) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a mismatch between the GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) of external procurement relationships in the BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) call and those stored in the database.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is that the data in the database has been changed or is inconsistent with the data being sent through the BAPI. This can happen if:
  
  The procurement relationship was modified or deleted in the database after the BAPI was called.
  There are multiple transactions or processes that are trying to update the same procurement relationship simultaneously, leading to conflicts.
  The BAPI is being called with outdated or incorrect GUIDs.
  
  
  
  Incorrect BAPI Usage: If the BAPI is not being used correctly, such as passing incorrect parameters or not following the required sequence of operations, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency: Verify the GUIDs being used in the BAPI call against the database. Ensure that the procurement relationship exists and that the GUIDs match. You can do this by:
  
  Querying the database to check the current state of the procurement relationship.
  Ensuring that the GUIDs being passed in the BAPI are the latest and correct ones.
  
  
  
  Update or Refresh Data: If the data has changed, you may need to refresh or update the data in your application before making the BAPI call. This can involve:
  
  Re-fetching the procurement relationship data from the database.
  Ensuring that no other processes are modifying the procurement relationship while your BAPI call is being executed.
  
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to manage situations where the GUIDs do not match. This can include:
  
  Retrying the operation after a short delay.
  Logging the error for further analysis.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures and that all required parameters are being passed correctly.
  
  
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific context of your implementation and any known issues related to the BAPI.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on the specific BAPI you are using.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 or /SAPAPO/SDP95 to view and manage procurement relationships in APO.
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the BAPI call to see the exact parameters being passed and the point of failure.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
