The SAP error message
/CCIS/TAX603 Duplicate key &
typically indicates that there is an attempt to create or update a record in the system that violates a unique constraint, meaning that a record with the same key already exists in the database. This error is often encountered in the context of tax configuration or tax-related data entries in SAP.Causes:
- Duplicate Entries: The most common cause is that there is already an existing entry in the database with the same key (e.g., tax code, tax jurisdiction, etc.) that you are trying to create or modify.
- Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not properly handled during the migration process.
- Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the tax determination or tax calculation areas can lead to attempts to create duplicate records.
- User Error: Users may inadvertently try to create a record that already exists due to lack of awareness of existing data.
Solutions:
- Check Existing Records: Before creating a new record, check the existing records in the relevant tables to ensure that the key you are trying to use does not already exist.
- Modify Existing Record: If the record already exists and you need to make changes, consider updating the existing record instead of creating a new one.
- Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found, you may need to clean up the data by removing or consolidating duplicate entries.
- Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to tax codes and ensure that they are set up correctly to avoid conflicts.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any known issues or additional 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.
