• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SB071 - &1 &2: Duplicate entries for resource ID ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SB071 &1 &2: Duplicate entries for resource ID typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. This error indicates that there are duplicate entries for a specific resource ID in the system, which can lead to inconsistencies and issues in transportation planning and execution.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Resource Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the same resource (e.g., a vehicle, carrier, or other transportation resource) has been entered multiple times in the system with the same identifier.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been manual entries, it is possible that duplicates were created inadvertently.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the TM module can also lead to the creation of duplicate entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/RES (Resource Management) to view the list of resources.
  Check for entries with the same resource ID and identify the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Delete or Merge Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates are found, you can either delete the unnecessary entries or merge them if applicable. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  Before deleting, ensure that the resource is not being used in any active transportation planning or execution processes.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Implement data validation checks to prevent the creation of duplicate entries in the future. This can include setting up unique constraints in the database or implementing checks in the user interface.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the TM module to ensure that they are set up correctly and do not allow for duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP TM you are using for any additional guidance or known issues.
