Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXPB110 - Article &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message WXPB110: Article &1 already exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Retail or SAP Merchandise Management when you try to create or replicate an article (product) that already exists in the system.
  
  Cause
  
  The article number (or article ID) you are trying to create or replicate already exists in the SAP system.
  This can happen during article creation, data replication from a central system, or data upload if the article master data is duplicated.
  It may also occur if there is a mismatch or conflict in article identifiers between systems in a distributed environment.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check if the article already exists:
  
  Use transaction WPM1 (Article Master) or MM03 (Display Material) to verify if the article number is already present.
  
  
  
  Avoid duplicate creation:
  
  If the article exists, do not create it again. Instead, update the existing article if needed.
  
  
  
  Correct the article number:
  
  If you intended to create a new article, ensure you use a unique article number that does not exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Check replication settings:
  
  If the error occurs during replication (e.g., from central article master to branch systems), verify the replication process and filters to avoid duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Data cleanup:
  
  If duplicates exist due to data inconsistencies, perform data cleanup or merge duplicates as per business rules.
  
  
  
  Check for transport or interface issues:
  
  Sometimes, transport or interface errors cause partial creation leading to duplicates. Review logs and correct accordingly.
