SAP Note 361893 - 'Duplicate record' error in order processing

Component : Maintenance Orders -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/361893 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When editing orders in SAP using Transaction IW32 or IW33, you may encounter the error message CO888 indicating an internal issue due to duplicate records in ITAB. This problem originates from inadequate handling of external operations and unit measurements in the purchase requisition process. SAP Note 358127 must be implemented as a prerequisite. To resolve this, apply the program corrections provided, including implementing the exception AVO_ALREADY_EXISTS in the function module CO_BT_AFVG_APPEND. These corrections prevent improper triggering of warning messages, thus eliminating the described error behavior and preventing system dumps caused by AVO_ALREADY_EXISTS.
