- Transaction already exists ?The SAP error message T0118, which states "Transaction already exists," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or process a transaction that is already present in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the posting of financial documents, creating sales orders, or other transactional processes.
Causes:

Solutions:
- Check for Existing Transactions: Before creating a new transaction, check if the transaction already exists. You can do this by searching for the transaction ID or relevant details in the appropriate SAP module.
- Review Transaction Logs: Look at the transaction logs to identify if the transaction was previously created and not processed correctly.
- Delete or Modify Existing Transaction: If you find that the transaction already exists and is not needed, you may delete or modify it as appropriate.
- Consult with IT Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team to investigate further, especially if it seems to be a system-wide issue.
- Check for Custom Code: If there are custom developments in your SAP system, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
