• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD080 - Unique item identifier &1 is already specified in the data ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD080 indicates that there is a duplicate entry for a unique item identifier in the data being uploaded to the system. This typically occurs during stock upload processes in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, where each item must have a unique identifier to ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the data being uploaded contains multiple entries for the same unique item identifier (e.g., material number, batch number, etc.).
  Incorrect Data Preparation: The data file (e.g., CSV, Excel) may have been incorrectly prepared, leading to unintentional duplicates.
  Data Source Issues: If the data is being pulled from an external system or database, there may be issues with how the data is being extracted or transformed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data for Duplicates:
  
  Review the data file you are trying to upload and check for any duplicate entries for the unique item identifier.
  Use tools like Excel or data processing scripts to identify and remove duplicates.

  Validate that each unique item identifier is only listed once in the dataset.
  
  
  
  Modify the Upload Process:
  
  If the duplicates are legitimate (e.g., different stock types or locations), consider modifying the upload process to handle these cases appropriately.
  You may need to adjust the logic in your upload program or use a different method to upload the data.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If you are using transaction codes for the upload, ensure that you are using the correct transaction and that it supports the data structure you are working with.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the upload process and data requirements.
