3065508 - Duplicate External ID's In Copy & Paste Function

Symptom

You enabled the Copy & Paste function in Products and decided to use the External Product ID as an alternative identifier.

However when you paste the External ID, since you have duplicated ID's it doesn't select the expected product.

Environment

SAP Cloud For Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the document where you want to paste the product (e.g. Opportunities, Sales Quote, etc.).
  2. Go to Products tab.
  3. Click on Paste button.
  4. Paste the content on the text field.
  5. Incorrect product is added to the list. 

Cause

The functionality cannot handle duplicate matches, because it has no control/information on which product to choose from the list of duplicate entries.

Resolution

This feature is not supported in the current release of SAP Cloud for Customer.
