How to Fix Duplicate Component Lines in IW32 , iw31

[abraham_H]

Issue: In TCode IW32 (Maintenance Order), when adding a component in the Components tab, two identical lines were created in the RESB table—one with a Storage Location (LGORT) and one without. This happened when the Storage Location field was left empty, triggering a Warning message. After filling LGORT, a duplicate line was added.

Root Cause: The issue was traced to a CHAIN in the SAPLCOMK program (Screen 2030, Module MANDATORY_FIELD_CHK). A Warning message (Application Area: EAM_EWM_INTEG_PROC, Message Number: 000) caused the main loop to restart after LGORT was entered, creating a duplicate entry in RESB.

Solution:

1. Go to TCode SM30.

2. Enter the view V_160M_PM_1 and select Maintain.

3. Find the message:

   • Application Area: EAM_EWM_INTEG_PROC

   • Message Number: 000

   • Message Type: W (Warning)

4. Change the Message Type from W (Warning) to I (Information).

5. Save the changes and create a Transport Request.

6. Test in IW32 to confirm only one line is created in RESB.

Why It Works: Changing the message to Information prevents the program from restarting the loop after LGORT is filled, avoiding duplicate entries.

Tips:

• Verify the change in a Sandbox environment with different materials and Plants.

• Check SAP Notes for similar issues (search “SAPLCOMK V_160M_PM_1 EAM_EWM_INTEG_PROC”).

• Debug SAPLCOMK (Screen 2030) if the issue persists.
