• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01152 - Source list exists for mat. &1, store &2, supplier &3, starting on &4 ?

  The SAP error message W_DSD_01152 indicates that there is a source list entry for a specific material, store, and supplier combination that is valid starting from a certain date. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP Distribution and Supply Chain Management modules, particularly when dealing with sourcing and procurement processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an action (such as creating a purchase order or a stock transfer) for a material that already has an existing source list entry. The source list defines which suppliers can provide a specific material and the validity period for each supplier. The error message indicates that the system has found an existing source list entry that conflicts with the action you are trying to perform.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Source List:
  
  Use transaction code ME03 (Display Source List) to view the source list for the material in question.
  Verify the entries for the specified material, store, and supplier combination. Check the validity dates to see if the entry is active and if it overlaps with the action you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Modify the Source List:
  
  If necessary, you can modify the source list using transaction code ME02 (Change Source List) to adjust the validity dates or remove the conflicting entry if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Create a New Source List Entry:
  
  If you need to create a new source list entry for the same material, store, and supplier, ensure that the new entry has a different validity period that does not overlap with the existing entry.
  
  
  
  Consult with Procurement Team:
  
  If you are unsure about modifying the source list, consult with your procurement or supply chain team to ensure that any changes align with your organization's sourcing strategy.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If your organization has custom logic or enhancements in place, ensure that these are not causing the error. You may need to involve your SAP technical team to investigate further.
