Symptom
You are trying to update a value of a KUT list value field and receive the following errors:
- Code list inconsistent; remove duplicate code values.
- Enter code descriptions in all selected languages.
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Customer.
- Go to Accounts.
- Open any Account.
- Start Adaptation.
- Locate the field XYZ (Where XYZ is your KUT field).
- Click Edit button.
- At the field screen select the pencil icon to edit the field properties.
- Click at Add Row.
- Fill the new line with code and description.
- Add the language descriptions.
- Save.
- Error message is displayed.
*This is just an example, could happens on any screen.
Cause
Front-end only display 300 records of values (for a single langue, if two languages it will be 150), so it cannot validate which value is duplicated in the list.
However, when adding a new line and defining a code that already exists (and it's not visible in the list) it will create a duplicated entry, which also be duplicated in the language description.
Resolution
To check all values for duplicate entries you need to download the csv file.
- Go to Customer.
- Go to Accounts.
- Open any Account.
- Start Adaptation.
- Locate the field XYZ (Where XYZ is your KUT field).
- Click Edit button.
- At the field screen select the pencil icon to edit the field properties.
- Click Download.
- Open the csv file.
- Notice there are much more records in the csv file than the displayed in front-end.
- Search for duplicate records (with same name or code of the new one you are trying to add).
- Perform the changes corrections in the Value code or name (duplicates are not allowed).
- Upload the file.
