The SAP error message
/AIF/MES222 Structure mapping exists under &1 &2
typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when there is an issue with the structure mapping configuration. This error indicates that there is an existing structure mapping for the specified interface or message type, which may be causing a conflict or duplication.Cause:
- Duplicate Structure Mapping: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to create a new structure mapping for an interface that already has an existing mapping.
- Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the AIF settings or the interface definitions.
- Transport Issues: If the system has been recently transported, there may be inconsistencies in the mappings due to missing or incomplete transport requests.
Solution:
Check Existing Mappings:
- Go to the AIF configuration and check the existing structure mappings for the specified interface. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like
/AIF/IF_MAINTAIN
).- Identify if the mapping you are trying to create already exists.
Modify or Delete Existing Mapping:
- If a mapping already exists and is not needed, you can delete it or modify it as per your requirements.
- If you need to keep the existing mapping, ensure that your new mapping does not conflict with it.
Review Configuration:
- Ensure that the configuration for the interface is correct and that there are no inconsistencies.
- Check for any recent changes or transports that might have affected the mappings.
Consult Documentation:
- Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to AIF and structure mappings for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
