• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01067 - To use the copy function the same material must be selected as source ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_DSD_01067
  
  To use the copy function the same material must be selected as source.
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of Direct Store Delivery (DSD) or related sales order processing scenarios in SAP. The message indicates that when using the copy function (for example, copying data from one delivery or order to another), the system expects the source material to be the same as the target material.
  In other words, the copy function is designed to copy data only when the material in the source document matches the material in the target document. If you try to copy data between different materials, the system raises this warning to prevent inconsistent or incorrect data copying.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When copying delivery or order data in DSD scenarios.
  When trying to copy item details from one material to another different material.
  Possibly during sales order or delivery creation where copy control or copy functions are used.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Ensure the same material is selected as source and target when using the copy function.  
  
  Verify that the material number in the source document matches the material number in the target document.
  
  
  
  If copying between different materials is required, consider alternative approaches such as:
  
  Manually entering the data for the new material.
  Using a different copy control or customizing that supports copying between different materials (if business process allows).
  Adjusting the process to avoid copying between different materials.
  
  
  
  Check the copy control settings in transaction VTAA (for sales orders) or relevant copy control transactions to ensure they are configured correctly for your scenario.
  
  
  Review user input during the copy process to confirm that the correct material is selected.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message W_DSD_01067 for any patches or detailed explanations.
  
  
  Customization:
  
  The copy function behavior can be influenced by user exits or BADIs in DSD or sales order processing. Check if any custom code restricts copying between different materials.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Copy function requires source and target materials to be identical; error occurs if they differ.  
  Solution: Use the same material for source and target when copying; adjust process or customization if copying between different materials is needed.  
  Check: Copy control settings, user input, and any custom enhancements.
