• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DG009 - A check method with sequence &1 is already defined in the check schema ?

  The SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DG009 A check method with sequence &1 is already defined in the check schema typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with check methods in the check schema configuration.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is a duplicate entry for a check method in the check schema. Specifically, it means that the system has detected that a check method with the same sequence number (denoted by &1) has already been defined in the check schema you are trying to configure or modify. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to add a new check method with a sequence number that is already in use.
  There was an error in the configuration process that led to the same sequence being assigned to multiple check methods.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Check Methods:
  
  Navigate to the check schema configuration in the SAP EHS module.
  Review the list of check methods defined in the schema to identify if the sequence number in question is already assigned to another check method.
  
  
  
  Modify the Sequence Number:
  
  If you find that the sequence number is indeed already in use, you will need to either:
  
  Change the sequence number of the new check method you are trying to add to a unique value that is not already in use.
  Remove or modify the existing check method that is using the same sequence number if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing check methods or sequences, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP EHS configuration guidelines.
