  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB123 - Sort sequence number & already exists in layout module & ?

    The SAP error message WB123 indicates that there is a conflict with the sort sequence number in a layout module. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a layout in SAP, and the sort sequence number you are attempting to use already exists in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate Sort Sequence Number: The primary cause of this error is that the sort sequence number you are trying to assign to a layout already exists in the same layout module. Each sort sequence number must be unique within a layout.
    2. Incorrect Layout Configuration: There may be an issue with how the layout is configured, leading to conflicts in the sort sequence numbers.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Sort Sequence Numbers: Review the existing layout module to identify the sort sequence numbers that are already in use. You can do this by navigating to the layout configuration in SAP and listing the current sort sequence numbers.
    2. Use a Unique Sort Sequence Number: When creating or modifying the layout, ensure that the sort sequence number you are trying to use is unique and does not conflict with existing numbers.
    3. Modify Existing Layout: If you need to keep the same sort sequence number, consider modifying the existing layout that uses that number instead of creating a new one.
    4. Delete or Adjust Conflicting Entries: If appropriate, you can delete or adjust the entries that are causing the conflict, but be cautious as this may affect other users or processes relying on that layout.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE93 (for checking existing layouts) or SE80 (for development work) to manage layouts and sort sequences.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed instructions on managing layouts and sort sequences.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to layout management that may provide additional context or solutions.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
