External transfer &1 already used
Help Document

Diagnosis

The external transfer has already been used in the internal transfer of .

This transfer however can no longer be assigned to this IDoc.

System Response

The IDoc is assigned to a new internal transfer number. For reasons of security, this transfer is deactivated so that the processing step cannot be executed. You should now check if the transfer was really sent twice.

The process, if this is an example of a transfer that has NOT been sent twice (duplicate) is described below.

Procedure

Check whether this is an example of a duplicate.

If not, you can make settings for the "Duplicate check" in Customizing (transaction OVD5) so that this is only executed for a specific time in the past. This is intended if the EDI partner resets external transfer numbers each year.

In the case that there is no duplicate transfer (the external transfer number was used last year for example, and now leads to a "false" duplicate result), you have to proceed as follows:

  • Set the transfer to active with the function "Set transfer active".
  • Start the verification step again. The error message that a duplicate exists, no longer appears.
  • Eliminate other possible verification errors and then start the processing step.
