• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TXX035 - Collection &1 with status &2 already exists for &3 ?

  The SAP error message TXX035 indicates that there is an attempt to create a collection (or a similar object) that already exists in the system. The message typically includes placeholders for specific values, such as the collection name, its status, and possibly the user or process that is trying to create it.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create a collection (or similar object) that has the same name or identifier as an existing one.
  The existing collection is in a status that does not allow for the creation of a new one with the same identifier.
  There may be a logical error in the process flow where the system is not correctly checking for existing collections before attempting to create a new one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Collections: Verify if the collection with the specified name and status already exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using a report that lists existing collections.
  
  
  Modify the Collection: If the existing collection is valid and should be used, consider modifying it instead of creating a new one. This may involve updating its status or other attributes.
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier: If you need to create a new collection, ensure that you use a unique identifier that does not conflict with existing collections.
  
  
  Review Process Logic: If this error is occurring frequently, review the logic in the process that leads to the creation of collections. Ensure that there are checks in place to prevent attempts to create duplicates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the module you are working with, as the context of the error may vary.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to view or manage collections (e.g., FBL1N for vendor line items, FBL3N for G/L accounts).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address this issue.
  System Logs: Review system logs for additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
