• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MVA/AMVIAMSG137 - Inquiry not created saved because of duplicate reasons ?

  The SAP error message /MVA/AMVIAMSG137 Inquiry not created saved because of duplicate reasons typically indicates that there is an attempt to create a new inquiry that has been flagged as a duplicate of an existing inquiry. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of sales and distribution or materials management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Inquiry: The system has detected that the inquiry you are trying to create already exists in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The same customer or vendor already has an inquiry with the same details.
  The inquiry is being created with the same reference number or key fields that are already in use.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may have been configured to prevent the creation of duplicate inquiries based on certain criteria (e.g., customer, material, date).
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry, such as incorrect customer or material numbers, leading the system to believe that the inquiry is a duplicate.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Inquiries: Before creating a new inquiry, check the existing inquiries in the system to see if one already exists that matches the details you are trying to enter. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like VA11 (Create Inquiry) or VA12 (Change Inquiry) to search for existing inquiries.
  Filtering by customer, material, or other relevant fields.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Inquiry: If you find an existing inquiry that matches, consider modifying it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe the duplicate check is too strict or not functioning as intended, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to inquiry creation.
  
  
  Data Entry Verification: Double-check the data you are entering to ensure there are no typos or incorrect entries that could lead to the duplicate detection.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the module you are working in.
