• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW886 - Org. set &1 is identical to org. set &2 in database; save cancelled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW886 Org. set &1 is identical to org. set &2 in database; save cancelled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to save or create an organizational set (Org. set) in SAP, but the system detects that the organizational set you are trying to save is identical to another existing organizational set already stored in the database.
  
  Organizational sets are collections of organizational units used in various HR and organizational management processes.
  The system prevents saving duplicate organizational sets to maintain data integrity and avoid redundancy.
  The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the names or IDs of the organizational sets involved.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  You attempted to save an organizational set (say, OrgSetA).
  The system found that OrgSetA is exactly the same as another existing organizational set (OrgSetB).
  Because they are identical, SAP cancels the save operation to avoid duplicate entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Organizational Sets:
  
  Review the existing organizational sets in the system.
  Identify the organizational set that is identical to the one you are trying to save.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Saves:
  
  If the organizational set you want to save already exists, you do not need to create/save it again.
  Use the existing organizational set instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify the Organizational Set:
  
  If you intended to create a new organizational set with some differences, modify the set so it is not identical to any existing set.
  Change organizational units or structure to make it unique.
  
  
  
  Technical Check (if needed):
  
  If you believe this is an error (e.g., the sets are not identical), check the database entries for organizational sets.
  Use transaction codes like PPOME or PPOSE to view organizational units and sets.
  You may also check tables like HRP1000 and related tables for organizational data.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Organizational Sets are used in Personnel Planning and other HR modules.
  This error is a safeguard to prevent redundant data.
  The message class WRF_PPW relates to Personnel Planning and Work Force Planning.
  If you are working with personnel planning or organizational management, ensure that organizational sets are unique.
