  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/CFIR102 indicates that a Forwarding Order (FWSD) already exists for the specified forwarding order number (&1) and business partner (&2). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to create a new forwarding order that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Forwarding Order: The most common cause of this error is that there is already a forwarding order created for the same business partner and forwarding order number. This could happen due to:
  
  Manual entry of the same forwarding order.
  System processes that attempt to create a forwarding order without checking for existing ones.
  Data import or migration processes that inadvertently create duplicates.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity in the system, leading to the system not recognizing that a forwarding order already exists.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Forwarding Orders: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FWSD or relevant reports to check if the forwarding order already exists for the specified business partner.
  Verify the details of the existing forwarding order to ensure it is valid and corresponds to the intended transaction.
  
  
  
  Modify or Use Existing Forwarding Order: 
  
  If the existing forwarding order is valid, consider using it instead of creating a new one.
  If modifications are needed, you can update the existing forwarding order as required.
  
  
  
  Error Handling in Processes: 
  
  If this error occurs during automated processes (like batch jobs or integrations), ensure that there are checks in place to prevent the creation of duplicate forwarding orders.
  Implement error handling to manage such scenarios gracefully.
