• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION026 - Mapping of vendor &1 (system &2) matches mapping of supplier &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION026 indicates a mapping conflict between a vendor and a supplier in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) when there is an attempt to replicate or synchronize vendor and supplier data, and the system finds that the mappings are conflicting.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a situation where the vendor (identified by &1) in the source system (identified by &2) is mapped to a supplier (identified by &3) in the target system. This means that the same vendor is being treated as both a vendor and a supplier, which leads to a conflict in the mapping.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Mapping Configuration:
  
  Review the mapping configuration in the SRM system to ensure that the vendor and supplier mappings are correctly defined and do not overlap.
  
  
  
  Identify the Conflicting Entries:
  
  Use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or SLG1 (Application Log) to identify the specific entries causing the conflict. Look for the vendor and supplier IDs involved in the error message.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Mappings:
  
  If the vendor and supplier should be distinct entities, adjust the mappings accordingly. This may involve changing the vendor or supplier ID in the source or target system to ensure they do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If there are duplicate or incorrect entries in the vendor or supplier master data, clean up the data to remove any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Replication:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-attempt the replication process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to SRM and data replication for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your situation.
