• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPM_THX1084 - Lot number not unique (comp. code &1, lot-generating transaction no. &2) ?

  The SAP error message TPM_THX1084 indicates that there is a problem with the uniqueness of a lot number in the context of a specific company code and a lot-generating transaction. This error typically arises in the context of Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) or when dealing with materials management and inventory management processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the lot number being used is not unique within the specified company code and transaction. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Duplicate Lot Numbers: The same lot number has been assigned to multiple transactions or materials within the same company code.
  Incorrect Data Entry: A user may have mistakenly entered a lot number that already exists in the system.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be inconsistencies or duplicates in the lot numbers.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured correctly to handle lot numbers, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TPM_THX1084 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to check if the lot number already exists in the system for the specified company code.
  You can also use transaction SE16N to query the relevant database tables (e.g., MCH1 for lot numbers) to find duplicates.
  
  
  
  Correct the Lot Number:
  
  If you find that the lot number is indeed duplicated, you will need to either change the lot number in your transaction or delete the duplicate entry if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry Procedures:
  
  Ensure that users are following proper procedures for entering lot numbers to avoid duplicates in the future.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that it correctly handled lot numbers and did not introduce duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to lot management in the system to ensure that they are set up correctly to enforce uniqueness.
