  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SB058 Duplicate identifier after applying ### prefix typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there are duplicate identifiers in the system, particularly after a prefix has been applied to distinguish between different entities or records.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Identifiers: The error indicates that there are two or more records with the same identifier after a prefix (###) has been applied. This can happen if:
  
  The same identifier is used for different entities (e.g., shipments, transportation lanes, etc.).
  The prefixing logic is not correctly implemented or there are inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been recent changes in the configuration, it may lead to duplicates.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the TM system can lead to the generation of duplicate identifiers.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to query the relevant database tables and identify the records that are causing the duplication.
  Check the specific tables related to the entities you are working with (e.g., /SCMTMS/SHIPMENT, /SCMTMS/TRANSPORTATIONLANE, etc.).
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  Once duplicates are identified, you can either delete or modify the records to ensure that each identifier is unique.
  If the duplicates are due to a data migration issue, consider re-evaluating the migration process to prevent future occurrences.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP TM system to ensure that the prefixing logic is correctly set up.
  Ensure that the naming conventions and identifier generation rules are properly defined to avoid conflicts.
