SUI_TM_MM007
- Object already exists ?The SAP error message SUI_TM_MM007, which states "Object already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new object (such as a material, vendor, or other master data) that has the same key or identifier as an existing object in the system. This can happen in various modules, including Materials Management (MM), when there is an attempt to create a duplicate entry.
Cause:
- Duplicate Key: The most common cause is that the key (like material number, vendor number, etc.) you are trying to create already exists in the database.
- Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the data being entered may not be unique due to typographical errors or misunderstanding of the existing data.
- Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be conflicts with existing records.
- System Configuration: Certain configurations may enforce uniqueness on specific fields, leading to this error.
Solution:
Check Existing Records: Before creating a new object, check the existing records to ensure that the key you are trying to use is not already in use. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 (for materials) or XK03 (for vendors) to view existing entries.
Use a Different Key: If the key is already in use, you will need to choose a different key that does not conflict with existing records.
Data Validation: Ensure that the data you are entering is correct and does not inadvertently match an existing record.
Review Migration Data: If this issue arises after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that there were no duplicates created during the transfer.
Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or help files for specific guidelines related to the object you are trying to create.
