How can we avoid creating duplicate items?

[tmendoza90]

Hello Everyone,

We are looking to create a pop up window upon item creation in the Item Master Data that will notify an employee if the manufactures number or Vendor Item number already exists.

It would simply state "This item already exists inside SAP, are you sure you wish to continue"

Thank you in advance for all your help.

You need to use SBO transaction Notification where you will deploy stored procedure to restrict transactions according to your requirements

Hi,

You can Restrict Duplicate Item Code through Transaction notification.

Hi,

What do you mean by Vendor Item Number and Manufacturer Number ? Are these the field you want to check your item code ??

You will have to deal with development.

Thank You

Yes, those are the fields we wanted to check.

We ended up going through development on this one and we created a validation within the configurations of the item master data.
